PDA Nervous System Regulation

Children and young people with a PDA profile experience the world through a unique neurological lens. Their nervous system is often on high alert, which can make everyday demands feel overwhelming — and lead to anxiety, shutdowns, or meltdowns.

In this practical and compassionate session, you’ll learn:

• How the nervous system works in children with PDA
• Why regulation is essential for learning, connection, and wellbeing
• Signs of dysregulation (and what they look like in PDAers)
• Simple, effective strategies to support calm and safety
• Ways to adapt your approach to reduce triggers and build trust
