Enroll to build your confidence and get your child out of burnout at a lower cost and on your schedule!

The PSP On Demand provides a clear breakdown of 20 actionable skills that you can implement immediately to support your PDA child or teen (and yourself) in your home so you can:

  • Take action and make progress, even though you are stressed and overwhelmed, and your own nervous system is taxed.
  • Feel confident and resourced, even when people around you are judging the way you are accommodating a PDA child or teen. 

Unlike courses that are focused on teaching you *about* Pathological Demand Avoidance/Pervasive Drive for Autonomy, this program is designed to give you three things:

  • Step-by-step instructions, real-life examples and scripts to make implementation actually do-able.
  • A deep understanding of *how to support* the PDA brain and nervous system.
  • The confidence to make changes in your home.

As a mom of a PDA child I know better than anyone that:

  • You are exhausted as a parent.
  • Your own executive functioning is tapped out.
  • You are constantly on edge because you don't have the structure and practical strategies you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you are anything like my clients...

Your child has received partial or incorrect diagnoses that have never seemed to fully fit or make sense – whether it is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) , ADHD, Autism, Childhood OCD, Attachment Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, etc.

But more importantly – and regardless of diagnosis – you haven’t yet been given a way to think about your child’s brain and nervous system that will actually help your family and your child. Alternatively, like many of my clients, perhaps you have already been working on a “low demand lifestyle” with your PDA child, but it seems completely unsustainable and ultimately doesn’t seem to be supporting them.

Are you not supposed to set *any* boundaries? No screen time limits ever?  Even if you understand how your PDA child’s brain works, you may be wondering – How can I set up a life that I actually want to live and that is sustainable not just for them, but also for me, my partner and my other children? 

In this program you will answer those questions and start creating that life!
