Understanding Equalizing
You'll learn what equalizing is for all ages, how to identify common and “invisible” ways adults equalize against children and other adults, and how to break the cycle of constant conflict.
Understand Foundational Needs
Foundational needs for PDA’ers are needs that can be met by the PDA’er through equalizing, or can instead be met proactively by others to reduce the need for equalizing. Topics include learning about “real” autonomy, an approach to equity that rejects hierarchy, and shifting our mindset around social skills and pragmatics to be neurodivergent centered and affirming.
Learn to Proactively Equalize
Learn how to accommodate and support adaptive equalizing, how to dis-accomodate maladaptive equalizing, and how to tell the difference, all through the use of real life examples. Replace ineffective behavior management strategies with a “needs centered” approach, where the focus is on meeting everyone’s needs, not just the PDA’ers. Using real life video examples, Keri also discusses multiple playful strategies for how to “proactively meet equalizing needs” while honoring everyone’s autonomy in the process.
