Description

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) are terms commonly applied to neurodivergent children and adolescents. What do these labels really tell us about the individuals we work with? Dive into some important research findings and explore some of the questions we still need to answer with Amelia Bowler, author of The Parents’ Guide to Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
