The PDA Society
The PDA Society started out as the PDA Contact Group, set up in 1997 by parents of children with a PDA profile of autism, and became a registered charity in January 2016.We provide information, support and training about PDA for individuals, families and professionals. We aim to increase acceptance and understanding of the PDA profile within the concept of ‘dimensionality’ in autism, and to improve outcomes for individuals and families by focusing everyone involved on ‘what helps’.
The PDA Society is led and run by a small team, all of whom have a direct connection with PDA and many of whom are volunteers. We receive no statutory funding and are reliant on donations, income from our training courses and the small profits from sales of our merchandise.
