I wish Laura had written this book ages ago . It gives a really clear picture of what it is like to have PDA and some excellent ideas of how to help in school and college . Every teacher should own a copy of this book, not just those who work with students with PDA ....teachers need to remember we are not always ' fine in school, ' and you never stop learning !--Caitlin, 16, PDA'er.

The book is easily digestible and has some fantastic experiences and strategies that I can bring to my practice immediately. Some really thought provoking ideas.--Katie Braid, Primary School Teacher

I don't think I've been so excited by a book around PDA before, well, no some I have, but I actually think this is the best book so far I've read on helping "educators" understand how it all actually should happen. Because of the lived experience and personal stories, (both of successes and failures), and the language used, (omg plus those awesome images!), this is an incredibly important tool in supporting those in education to begin to reframe and rethink their approaches and education styles.

The frankness, the examples and then the explanation of how and why really works, and I think can be accessed by educators, new and old.
