This Behavior & Communication Toolkit provides practical, neurodiversity-affirming supports for understanding PDA behavior and improving communication at home or in the classroom.
Each resource in this collection helps adults reframe behavior through the lens of regulation, autonomy, safety, and unmet needs, offering gentle, low-demand strategies that reduce overwhelm and build connection.
Inside you’ll find tools that decode behavior, offer pressure-free task starts, support co-regulation, and teach communication swaps that actually work for PDA learners.
These printable guides are ideal for teachers, parents, therapists, and school teams who want simple, effective ways to respond to refusal, shutdowns, masking, anxiety, and demand-related stress.
Designed for real PDA families and built on ND-affirming principles, these tools help reduce conflict, prevent escalation, and create more predictable, supportive communication patterns across the day.
