PAST Online Training

At PAST we understand that not everyone is able to commit to pre-booked events, and that there are those who prefer to learn in their own way, in their own time. To support this we have a selection of self-directed online courses which can be done as you choose. Also with the option for accredited and non-accredited courses.

What are people saying about our training?

"I watched and listened to everything in the Easter holidays. It made a massive impact on my practice and really supported me in developing a positive relationship with one of our students."

Newton Prep

“Laura’s INSET on ASD, ADHD and PDA was incredibly insightful and most certainly a valuable lesson for all teaching staff at Newton Prep. Laura provided a wealth of clear and concise information relating to ASD, ADHD and PDA and drew upon the many parallels between each one, suggesting useful strategies for effectively supporting pupils with a neurodivergent profile in school.”

“Laura's online webinar for our staff team in BC, Canada was warmly received! We have never had such positive feedback from an online workshop! 

We resonated with her deep respect, curiosity and fun-loving approach to supporting PDAers and their families. The slide deck was clear and her stories and examples honoured the lived experience of PDAers. Special thanks to Eliza (who was there with us through her illustrations) and to Sian for all of the set up support. Highly recommended!”

“We were absolutely delighted with Laura’s presentation on Understanding PDA. All of the attendees found the session so useful. Laura is a gifted presenter and trainer and her passion for this subject is obvious. The session was engaging, with Laura sharing so much of her knowledge and personal experience, balanced with strategies on how we can help our children with Pathological Demand Avoidance.”
