Support for PDAers

The Kidd Clinic has a range of offerings to meet the needs of PDA children and adolescents, and the people that support them, including family members, health professionals, educators and support workers. Our work is informed by our clinical training and practice, keeping up to date with the research on PDA, and lived experience.

Support for Children and Adolescents

Our clinicians are experienced in adapting individual therapy to focus on engagement and rapport building to build a strong therapeutic relationship. We also offer interest based groups for social connection.

We know that school can be a minefield for PDA-ers. In our work, we often advocate for individualised accommodations at school and have experience in facilitating Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) sessions with educators and students.

Support for Parents

For parents we offer ongoing parent support sessions, one-off Problem Solving Sessions (PSS), support with CPS implementation, and parent groups. 

Training and Workshops

We have an online workshop for parents coming up in June with a focus on education and self-care for parents Online PDA Insights: Strategies for Success in Schools & Beyond | Humanitix 

We provide training for educators on how to support PDA-ers at school and to address School Can’t related concerns. The Kidd Clinic is an approved provider under the Department of Education professional learning panel. This means that government schools across WA can access our training via ProLearn. Enquiries about this or other training needs can be directed to training@kiddclinic.com.au

We have on demand training on PDA for parents, educators, health professionals and support workers available here https://vimeo.com/user105488331
