North Somerset Parent Carers would like to invite parent carers, their families and professionals to join us with Nickie Sutton for training on Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and Sleep.

For parents, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) can make bedtime and sleep a very anxiety provoking time of day. Normal strategies often don’t work. Join Nickie Sutton, experienced sleep practitioner and trainer, for a session which looks at how PDA affects sleep and effective strategies to help.

This session is specially written for parents of children with additional needs / disabilities and is interactive so that your specific questions and needs are answered.

Nickie Sutton has been a sleep practitioner for 6 years and developed the successful and effective sleep courses for Space4Autism which have been running for over 3 years. Prior to this Nickie was a nurse for 34 years, most recently working as a Specialist Community Public Health School Nurse, and ADHD Nurse Specialist. She is currently one of small team of experienced sleep practitioners running the National Sleep Helpline.

This is a free training event for parent carers of children with additional needs and/or disabilities within North Somerset. This event is also open to professionals who work with children/young people with additional needs and/or disabilities in North Somerset. Priority on place allocation will be given based on the criteria above.

North Somerset Parent Carers Working Together are incredibly excited to extend our training offer with more diverse topics to benefit you and your families.
