About the Course

Effective communication is at the heart of building trust with PDA students. This bonus course explores practical strategies for interacting in ways that reduce pressure and invite genuine cooperation. You’ll learn how subtle shifts in tone, body language, and phrasing can make the difference between resistance and engagement. This course will help teachers and support staff create safer, more collaborative interactions where PDA students feel respected, understood, and empowered to participate.
