Kathy Hoopmann's Introduction to PDA lives up to expectations by providing readers with an authentic insight into the experiences of a PDA child. By presenting relatable life scenarios, it effectively bridges the gap between PDA readers and their peers, family members, educators, and the wider community. This book offers an understanding of the daily challenges and internal struggles faced by individuals with PDA. It is an essential educational resource for schools, classrooms, and allied health waiting rooms.
All About PDA is a wonderful book that simply, but beautifully illustrates the characteristics
of PDA. The use of beautiful photographs of animals will help readers of all ages gain a
greater understanding into this sometimes complex and misunderstood condition. In
particular I believe this book will benefit children who have recently been diagnosed. It will
be an excellent addition to the ever growing and much needed library of books on PDA.
Kathy Hoopmann has captured the enigma that is PDA in this delightful book! I only wish it
was around years ago to help us navigate our parenting journey. Neurodivergent and
neurotypical families may recognise the at-times highly entertaining, and at-times rather
hair-raising rollercoaster ride, of PDA life. Beautifully illustrated with photos from the animal
kingdom All About PDA is a heartfelt, helpful and hopeful introduction to PDA.
Kathy skilfully demystifies the PDA profile in this vibrant and engaging book; a delightful read
for adults and children alike.
At last, we have a simple and insightful guide to PDA that uses humour and captivating
photographs. Parents and professionals will avidly read every page to discover and explore
the world as experienced by someone who has a PDA profile.
This delightful book provides insight into how demands may feel for PDAers. Simultaneously,
readers gain a comprehensive understanding of this complex profile while being equipped
with helpful ways to offer support.
