Frequently asked questions

What does "supports Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)" mean on this directory?
It means the provider has told us this is among the needs they have experience supporting. It is not an independent clinical assessment of their capability.
Can I combine this with a location search?
Yes — use search filters to add a location, age range, delivery format or qualification alongside this need, or browse Alternative Provision by location.
Does every listed provider specialise only in this need?
No. Many providers support several needs. Use the provider profile and your own due diligence to confirm fit for an individual learner.
