PDA North America is thrilled to launch the first-ever research survey dedicated to understanding the experiences of PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) individuals living in North America. This is a unique opportunity for PDAers, their families, and caregivers to share insights that will shape future research, advocacy, and support initiatives. (You or your children do not have to have an official PDA diagnosis to participate in the survey as PDA is not currently in the DSM.)
Survey Launch Date: April 8, 2025
Survey Closes: May 8, 2025 at 11:59PM CDT
Your input will help us:
✅ Identify key challenges and needs within the PDA community
✅ Inform professionals, educators, and policymakers
✅ Strengthen advocacy for better resources and recognition
The survey is anonymous and takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. Every response helps build a more informed and supportive future for PDA individuals in North America.
You are welcome to fill out more than one survey if you fit the criteria for more than one survey. (i.e. If you have more than one PDA child, you are welcome to fill out a survey for each child to get a full representative picture of the experience for PDA individuals. Or if you are a PDAer parenting PDA children, you can fill out two different surveys.)
