If you’ve ever felt like nothing quite fits when it comes to PDA… this is where things start to make sense. This day is designed to cut through the noise, bring clarity, and give you the understanding and tools you’ve been searching for.


This isn’t about sitting and listening all day and leaving with more questions. This is about walking away with clarity, confidence and a plan.


By the end of the day, you will:

✔ Understand PDA properly Not just the label, but what’s actually happening in the nervous system and why your child responds the way they do
✔ Know what works (and what doesn’t) Clear, realistic strategies you can use at home or in school straight away
✔ Feel confident navigating education You’ll understand what should be happening in school and what to do when it isn’t
✔ Have clarity on your legal rights EHCPs, provision, discrimination and how to secure the right support without feeling overwhelmed
✔ Feel less alone You’ll be in a room full of people who truly get it


WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll hear from leading experts who bring real experience, not theory alone :


-Kelly Jarvis - Practical legal knowledge and provision. What the law says and how to use it
-Libby Hill - The science behind PDA. Nervous system, threat and why behaviours make sense
-Jilly Davis - Education that works. What schools should be doing and how to advocate
-Danielle Jata-Hall - Real life parenting. Honest, practical and reassuring
-Chrissa Wadlow - Bringing it all together with lived experience and real world insight


WHAT YOU’LL TAKE HOME
