Support and training about PDA for individuals, families and professionals

PDA Society

The PDA Society is led and run by a small team, all of whom have a direct connection with PDA. We provide information, support and training about PDA for individuals, families and professionals. We aim to increase acceptance and understanding of a PDA profile and to improve outcomes for individuals and families by focusing everyone involved on ‘what helps’.
