The PDA Space is an invaluable resource for families, educators, and professionals navigating Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), a profile on the autism spectrum. Created by Nicola Reekie, a therapist and parent of a child with PDA, the platform offers a range of support options, from one-on-one coaching to workshops and webinars, aimed at helping families create more harmonious environments.
The website emphasises a holistic, solution-focused approach, combining practical strategies with emotional support. One of its signature features is the PDA Summit, an annual event bringing together experts to raise awareness and share insights into managing PDA.
Visitors can explore specialised resources that promote understanding of the PDA profile, equipping parents with the tools needed to manage stress and reduce conflicts at home. The PDA Space’s emphasis on compassion, practical advice, and community makes it an essential hub for anyone affected by PDA.
PEGS provides support to parental figures who have children with a PDA profile and it is a privilege to be able to learn from specialist organisations such as the PDA Space.
