In "NO (and how dare you)" Decoding Defiance and Demand Avoidance With Compassion, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) are terms commonly applied to neurodivergent children and adolescents, but what do these labels really tell us about the individuals we work with? Dive into some important research findings and explore some of the questions we still need to answer with the author of The Parents' Guide to Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Amelia Bowler.

  2. Describe common responses to everyday situations as recounted by people labeled as Oppositional or Demand Avoidant.
  3. Identify strategies for presenting tasks and opportunities in a way that is less likely to trigger a defiant and avoidance response, compared to typical demands and requests.
