We would like to wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Christmas and happy end to 2024. We are as always very thankful for all your support during what has been a very busy year. We are looking forward to 2025 and all the new positives that it will bring.


This year, Laura's book 'The Teen's Guide to PDA' was published and has been met with warmth and success - including being 'Highly Commended' at the Teach Secondary Awards ( another book another accolade!)

Next year will see the publication of "The (Slightly Distracted) Woman’s Guide to Living with an Adult ADHD Diagnosis" which so many of you wonderful women have been involved with, and for that we are forever grateful for your resistance to 'ADHDing it'! Laura also has two other books "The Kids Simple Guide to PDA" and "The Parents and Professionals Simple Guide to PDA" which will also be published in 2025.


Laura has been very busy supporting families, providing training for schools and businesses both in person and online this year, including London Fire Brigade, Surrey YMCA, and numerous educational settings. She is already booked for lots of sessions into 2025. Laura was also very pleased to speak at 'The Autism Show' in London this year. To find out more about what she could offer your setting get in touch via [email protected] - though we will be taking some time away over the festive season.


There is lots coming up in 2025 including Level 3 training with the wonderful Journeys with PDA. This will be starting in March, so make sure you keep up to date with our socials for more information.

Laura has lots of other exciting things on the horizon for 2025 and hopes to see as many of you as possible either online or in person at training and events. If you are going to the tes SEND Show North in February you will see her there.

We would just like to take this opportunity to wish you all the very best moving in 2025. Remember that times like these whilst filled with joy and excitement can also be loaded with demands and too many changes for our PDAers and those with neurodifferences. We must all do what is right for us and those we support in terms of maintaining autonomy and shielding from additional demands and challenges to our safe spaces. Have the best time for you and yours, be authentic and celebrate your differences.
