Get Ready For a PDA Explosion of Awareness!!

Well I am pleased to say that the next six months or so should really provide PDA with a much needed and long awaited for burst of awareness.

There are plans for a TV documentary to air just before Christmas which will feature PDA. Hopefully if the content is still included the documentary will include footage of the diagnostic assessment at the ENC, interviews with some of the staff at Sutherland House School and an interview with a recently diagnosed adult. I imagine that the facebook support groups will immediately be flooded by many parents recognising the description and the features of PDA from the documentary as being almost like a mirror image of their own child.

I am really excited to announce that my book is now scheduled for publication in January 2015. I have learnt an awful lot from writing this book and hopefully I will be able to take that experience forward into my next venture. It has been a long hard slog but I am oh so nearly there now. Phil Christie has kindly agreed to write the foreword and the introduction for my book and to also write a frequently asked questions section. I am thrilled to bits to finally see a little bit of how the finished product will look and the book is now available for pre order. I just hope that I have managed to do other parents and their children with PDA justice with my account of living with PDA. I am also hoping that any professionals who reads this book will be hit by the enormity of the task that caring for a child with PDA is and that they may be able to understand the desperate need for diagnosis, recognition, understanding and support for both the parents and the child.
