Half a Century of Heart: ​Reaching, Teaching & Celebrating Every Mind 


In Person Workshops - Morning


Sam McCorriston - Session AM 3
PDA 101
This introductory workshop is designed for school professionals who wish to gain a foundational understanding of the PDA profile and why some students resist even positive classroom strategies. We will explore PDA as a stress-response and drive for autonomy. What is truly supportive for PDA nervous systems and how do we fit into an inclusive environment?
