For families
Clear explanations and practical ideas that can support understanding, communication and everyday situations at home and beyond.
Behaviour Connections
Connection Toolkits
Practical, connection-led resources designed to help families and professionals move from understanding what may be happening to knowing what they can do next.
Practical Support
Understanding that leads to action.
Connection Toolkits are designed to make complex needs easier to understand and practical support easier to use. They are grounded in the Behaviour Connections ethos: looking beyond behaviour, understanding what may be driving it, and responding through connection rather than correction.
For professionals
Accessible resources that can support shared understanding, consistent responses and connection-led practice around a young person.

PDA Toolkit
A practical Connection Toolkit focused on understanding demand avoidance and supporting young people through a connection-led, low-demand approach.
Behaviour Connections
PDA
Toolkit
Understanding demand avoidance through connection.
Look beyond the demand.
Demand avoidance can be easily misunderstood when we focus only on what a young person is or is not doing. The PDA Toolkit is designed to support a more curious, connection-led response.
It brings together practical guidance around demand avoidance so adults can think about what may be happening, reduce unnecessary pressure and consider approaches that support regulation, trust and engagement.
- Understand demand-avoidant responses through a connection lens
- Look beyond behaviour to consider what may be driving the response
- Explore practical, low-demand ways of responding
- Consider language, choice, flexibility and collaboration
- Support greater consistency between the adults around a young person
Coming Next
More Connection Toolkits are coming.
We are developing further practical resources using the same connection-led approach. New toolkits will be added here as they are completed.
Connection Over Correction.
