So I guess the opening question really, Christine, is can you briefly explain what PDA informed therapeutic support actually means in practice?

Christine MacInnisGUEST

2:37

And I would say that's definitely a great topic for a podcast because there's so many different interventions that can be used with the children themselves.

Christine MacInnisGUEST

2:43

But parents truly need their own support.
