LIVE WEBINAR!
The Kidd Clinic team is often asked to provide information and training to our clients' support workers. Many support workers are extremely caring and highly interested in supporting their clients appropriately but they feel at a loss as to how to engage their PDA clients and in assisting them to move toward their goals. This informative and practical webinar presented by Alise Bender (Clinical Psychologist Registrar and former support worker) and Isobel Ziatas (Provisional Psychologist and former support worker) will cover:
What PDA is and how it relates to Autism.
What are demands and common PDA responses to them?
Effective communication and connection to increase engagement.
The importance of modelling and appropriate self-disclosure.
The strengths and interests of the PDAer : Harnessing these for meaningful change.
Practical strategies for supporting emotion regulation.
Self-care for the Support Worker.
