Paige Layle, social media influencer

Children with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile are more likely to have a difficult time trusting and following adults in charge.

Learn from PDAer and Autism advocate Paige Layle about the effect of too many demands on the PDA nervous system, strategies to talk to children when they are in fight or flight mode, and tips for creating an environment that maximizes the child’s safety and security to keep them engaged.

In this session, Paige will speak about her own experience growing up as a PDA Autistic child and adult, and how she's applied what she's learned teaching children for over a decade.
