What If It's Not Defiance?
Ā
A free training for educators, speech therapists, and occupational therapists supporting autistic and PDA-identifying children
When a child refuses, shuts down, argues, avoids, or seems to push back against even simple requests, it can look like defiance.
But behavior is often telling us something about stress, safety, autonomy, and nervous-system load.
In this short training, youā€™ll learn a different way to understand what may be happening underneath the behavior, and what to consider before reaching for compliance, consequences, or more prompting.
