There’s a Reason Nothing Has Worked—It Might Be PDA
Understanding PDA Can Change Everything
Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a lesser-known but life-changing profile of autism. If your child resists everyday demands—even the ones they want to do—it might be PDA. And the traditional parenting advice? It usually backfires.
PDAers need a radically different approach; one that is rooted in trust, collaboration, and autonomy. Unfortunately, professionals with a true understanding of PDA are still hard to find. That’s where I can help.

PDA Consulting Offers
- One-on-one support for parents navigating suspected or confirmed PDA
- Practical strategies that align with how PDAers think, feel, and respond
- Guidance for professionals seeking to better support PDA clients
- School accommodation recommendations and collaborative planning
For one family, consulting may involve discussing previous evaluations and whether a PDA evaluation is necessary or advised.
For another, it may involve reviewing a neuropsychology report and providing PDA-friendly recommendations that a family can share with their school system.
For another, it might include comparing therapy options or educational opportunities or problem-solving particular challenges in the household.
Whether you’re overwhelmed, newly diagnosed, or just starting your journey, this session is your space to ask questions, get clarity, and feel seen.
Consulting is offered at an hourly rate; many clients require only one hour of time, but others with multiple records or seeking written products to share with outside agencies may require multiple sessions or hours.
