    Welcome Back & Resources

    In this "happy to be back" episode, I wanted to provide a list of places to look for more information whether you're simply looking to learn more about PDA in general, a parent of a PDAer looking for support or resources, or a PDAer yourself looking for community. Below is a list of the resources mentioned in today's episode. https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/ https://pdanorthamerica.org/ http://pdaanz.com/ https://dragonriko.wordpress.com/ http://www.sallycatpda.co.uk/ https://www.kristyforbes.com.au/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pda-parents/id1552127203 https://tiltparenting.com/ https://www.kristyforbes.com.au/podcast https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/resources/resource-category/support-facebook-groups/

    This episode deals with a topic that more so applies to my listeners in the United States. We are talking about the Marshall and Guardian programs being employed at schools across the country in light of continuing school shootings.

    Neurodivergence and sport

    Sports can be a great way for children to exercise and get peer interaction. However, for neurodivergent kiddos that can be problematic due to the potential for sensory issues and stressor overwhelm. So, I put together a list of different activities that can provide those positive aspects of sport with the accommodations needed for neurodivergent kiddos.
