6-years old with PDA

KimPossible64

Our family despair that our 6-year old will ever be accepted in school, as her violent outbursts are difficult for all concerned. She is autistic with PDA. Is there any kind of therapy that would help her to manage her emotions?

    Don’t give up! My daughter has also struggled (she’s 8, and her biggest struggle was around 6 so far imo) with outbursts, but she is now growing to a point where she is basically 80% in a general classroom as of now. I ultimately don’t think she is PDA, but we have questioned that about her, so she at least has some traits.

    One thing that helped us was art therapy. Art and music therapy help teach emotional regulation through play, which I think works pretty well for Autistics.
