PDA Society is a national charity operating across England and Wales, providing information, support, and training to parents and carers of autistic children with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile of autism. Many families find it challenging to access information and support specific to PDA, and we believe that our website, support services, and training could provide valuable resources to enhance the lives of parents and carers of children and young people with SEND ages 0-25 years and beyond.

What we do

• The PDA Society offers a range of free and paid support or training options via our website.
