Do you have a PDA child or teen who is struggling in school, yet no matter how much you explain, advocate and present evidence about PDA, the school simply won’t accommodate? Been there.

When school keeps breaking your child — it’s not you. It’s the environment. Sometimes classrooms just can’t meet the needs of PDA or autistic learners, no matter how many plans or meetings take place. That doesn’t mean education has to stop. It means it needs to change. My new EOTISC Guide (for families in England) explains: ✨ How to evidence what isn’t working ✨ What the law actually says ✨ How to request Education Otherwise Than In a School or College ✨ And how to secure provision that truly f

The question I get asked all of the time: “What’s the best school for a PDA child?” The actual answer? In my opinion there’s no single “perfect” school for PDA learners. ✅ Mainstream with adaptations? Sometimes. ✅ Specialist or alternative provision? It can work. ✅ Home education? For some, yes. ✅ Flexi-schooling? A great middle ground. But here’s the key: 👉 It’s not about finding the right school - it’s about creating the right environment where PDA learners feel safe, understood and able to t

When my daughter began showing school avoidance and I was told it was just “separation anxiety” I was so upset because I knew it wasn’t the problem. The separation anxiety was a reaction to not feeling safe when I wasn’t around. It was an indication of an unmet need. When I spoke to the paediatrician at a review and I explained that the early services had stated the issue was separation anxiety the professional asked me one question: Does she separate from you at other times? I answered yes. My

⚠️When School Feels Like the Danger Zone⚠️ For many children - especially those with SEND or neurodivergent needs - going in to school isn’t just hard. It can often be frightening.
