Beyond the Label: PDA & Behaviour – Professional Reflection Pack (5 PNG Downloads)

A four-page illustrated guide and accompanying summary poster for professional discussion about behaviour, autonomy and PDA in SEND practice.

The pack presents a behaviour/SEN perspective and encourages reflection on observable patterns, context and impact. It includes:

• A comparison of autonomy-protective and dominance-oriented control.
• Functional questions about choice, demands and responses.
• Possible contributing factors to consider within a broader understanding of behaviour.
• Team reflection prompts about support, boundaries and professional collaboration.
• A summary poster bringing together key themes and questions.

Suitable for SENCOs, teachers, pastoral staff and SEND support teams to use in reflective meetings or professional learning discussions. The comparisons are discussion prompts, not validated assessment criteria or a tool to diagnose or rule out PDA. Individual needs require careful, contextual understanding.

Included: five separate PNG image files: guide pages 1–4 plus one summary poster. View on screen or print. Digital download only; no physical items or PDFs are included.
