PDA-Affirming Education Plan

The Neurodiversity-Affirming Support Framework (NASF) represents a paradigm shift away from traditional behavior-focused approaches to one that values and affirms the diverse ways in which individuals experience and interact with the world. The goal of the NASF is to support the whole person, focus on their strengths, better understand their needs beyond the behaviors that they express, and work together with the NASF team to create an environment where students with PDA, Autism, and Twice Exceptional profiles can succeed. It is designed to be, by its very nature, both neurodiversity and PDA affirming.
