A roadmap for our family.
Before inTune with PDA, we were lost and exhausted, constantly battling with our child’s needs. This program gave us a clear, compassionate roadmap that has completely changed our day-to-day life. We now feel connected and hopeful for the future.
– Rachel, parent of a 6-year-old PDAer
A breath of fresh air.
I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on myself and my child until we started inTune with PDA. The program’s emphasis on equity and understanding has been a breath of fresh air, and it’s helped us create a calmer, happier home.
– Angela, parent of a 12-year-old PDAer
In 2020, inTune with PDA™ was launched as the first internationally accessed program, by over 3700 families worldwide, across 14 countries, specifically designed by a pioneering educator, advocate, and adult PDAer for parents of PDA children and teens.
inTune with PDA offers a compassionate, understanding approach to Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), focusing not just on clinical aspects, but on the lived experiences of individuals and families.
It recognises the challenges and isolation that come with PDA, moving away from traditional, harmful approaches that many assume to be helpful, such as behaviour management.
We shift away from old ways, and toward fostering connection, understanding, and self-reflection.
This program advocates for a new paradigm that respects the unique needs and experiences of PDA individuals and their families, emphasising healing, acceptance, and the journey towards embracing PDA unconditionally.
Radical acceptance. Radical resistance.

Finally, a program that understands our family
After years of feeling misunderstood and unsupported, this program gave us the tools to truly see and understand our child’s needs. The program is full of empathy and practical advice that speaks directly to what PDA families need.
– Emma, parent of a 13-year-old PDAer
The support we were missing!
This program has been an absolute game-changer for our family. We learned how to create a more balanced environment where our child feels safe and understood. The guidance is deeply compassionate and affirming, something we couldn’t find elsewhere.
– Michael, father of a 7-year-old PDA child
Transformative and empowering.
inTune with PDA didn’t just help me understand my child—it helped me understand myself as a parent. It offered a new perspective and tools to support my family in a way that feels right for us. I can’t recommend Kristy and the program enough.
– John, parent and educator
As a PDA individual myself, raising four PDA children, I intimately understand
the complex dynamics, challenges, and immense rewards that come with nurturing ourselves and young people who thrive on autonomy.
So many of our families sit on lengthy waitlists for years, finally accessing what they hope is support for what feels a completely unsustainable situation, only to be told it's their fault.
In case you haven't been told yet, you are resilient. Your child is resilient.
This word alone has been weaponised against families and children for far too long, underpinned by a resistance to the idea that our social and cultural constructs are in need of a significant shift.
Any person that continues to rise each day and face a world that feels like an assault on their livelihood, to try and try again, in the face of so many barriers is beyond resilient.
inTune with PDA™ empowers you to build a trusting, secure relationship with your child or teen, giving you the confidence to reframe your parenting approach, make aligned decisions, and advocate powerfully for your family. It’s not about changing who you are—it’s about coming back to the capable, intuitive parent you already are, with the tools and clarity to create a stable, nurturing home environment.
Our program works for all Individuals & Families, PDA or not.
We believe the principles of what we offer are nurturing and valid for all people, so whether you or your child have been formally identified autistic, ADHD, have anxiety, have been diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder or any other form of neurodivergence, because our program is human centred and respectful of all neurobiologies, being certain of whether you fit the criteria for PDA is not essential.
I have always struggled with how to approach my own PDA profile, but being part of this program has been life-changing. I feel validated, understood, and most importantly, empowered to manage daily life in a way that works for me. Learning from someone who is also PDA and an educator has made all the difference. This isn’t just a program—it’s a lifeline.
– Daniel R.
As a single parent of a PDA teen, I was overwhelmed and constantly in survival mode. 'inTune with PDA™' gave me clarity and confidence I didn’t know I had. Now, I can see the changes in my child’s behavior and emotions, and we’re finally making progress. The bonus resources and masterclasses are just incredible!
