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.
