Understanding Autism, PDA & ODD: Strategies to Avoid Power Struggles

May 9 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am

Free

Struggling with defiance, shutdowns, or resistance to everyday demands? Join us for this practical and compassionate session designed to help caregivers, educators, and professionals understand the overlap between Autism, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder).

Learn how to reduce power struggles and foster collaboration through low-demand, relationship-based strategies rooted in emotional safety and respect.

Walk away with:

  • Tools to identify and respond to avoidance behaviours
  • Proactive techniques to de-escalate and connect
  • Communication strategies that build trust

Perfect for anyone supporting neurodivergent children and youth who experience demand avoidance or strong opposition.

Register now and rethink “challenging behaviour” through a neurodiversity-affirming lens!
