Building Belonging Together - Understanding Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

We invite you to the inaugural Fusion Academy Berkeley Building Belonging Together monthly speaker series event, featuring expert insights, meaningful discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow families and professionals.

Through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how PDA may present in children and adolescents, the impact it can have on learning and relationships, and practical approaches for fostering trust, collaboration, and belonging at home and in school. Parents, caregivers, and educators will leave with strategies to better support students while strengthening the connections that help them thrive.
