Overview
This course explores Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), an autism profile where everyday requests trigger a physiological threat response. For After-School teachers in high-energy environments, supporting PDA requires shifting from "compliance" to "collaboration". You will master the Pivot Framework to reduce demand stacking and learn to use declarative language, humor, and flexible structures to lower anxiety. Move beyond standard discipline to create a supportive program culture where neurodivergent learners feel safe enough to engage, belong, and thrive.
