Here is an excerpt for you: The PDA voice, when safe to express itself, is unique, nuanced, down to earth, intelligent, sensitive, practical, and real. If we let it, it guides us into what often becomes best practice for all. I am thrilled that Brook and Sally Cat have come together as authors in this book, so that we all can benefit from their knowledge, practical advice, deep understanding, experience, and compassion. If you are new to PDA, this guide will offer you a thorough understanding of PDA – the challenges across the lifespan, how to tease out what is PDA versus what is not, what you can do that will be immediately helpful, and more. And, if you are already familiar with PDA, this guide will undoubtedly expand your knowledge by exploring the nooks and crannies of topics and questions you didn’t yet know you had and serve as a handy guide to refer to by topic on an as-needed basis. And, for those seeking data and concrete evidence, be assured that the findings from Sally Cat's 2016 Big Traits study are discussed throughout this book. Her full findings can be found at this link, and can help us all build evidence based practice around, and acceptance of, PDA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/fc906278-cadb-4095-915e-4777ff2da846/Screenshot+2026-01-16+123139.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Quick News: The Insider Guide to PDA!

They may visually reference us with uncertainty, they may say something that seems tangential to us, or they may have a fight/flight/freeze response because they do not feel competent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/72190ab8-179e-4dc9-976f-d213bb145b85/AdobeStock_318619543.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - When They Need (or Want) Very Direct Language - What I love most about declarative language is that it connects us to each other, while sharing important information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/603613cb-04c3-4c1d-b057-6e36a56fe3d6/AdobeStock_222829861.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support -

When They Need (or Want) Very Direct Language - We may need to pace how and when we share information, or balance our declarative statements with silence, and add additional scaffolds for comprehension (such as co-regulatory partnerships or gestural cues). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/739763df-4096-4487-bdaa-7f42c32e7dfb/AdobeStock_354212526.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support -

Because you will: Create positive social connections where your learner feels competent and successful. Build opportunities to transfer responsibility over time. These patterns repeat year to year, and it is never too early – or too late - to offer a competent role! Build skills that will come up at other times of the year in similar but different ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/73835327-f815-40fc-a3fb-0898b34ccd16/2.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Competent, Authentic, Contingent Roles Around Your Holiday To-Do’s Importantly: We never do all of this at once.

Similar but different opportunities throughout the year: The mail is always there!

We need each other to get the job done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/e71b8eac-447b-4ac1-aaf1-0bddaad523d9/AdobeStock_545873139.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Competent, Authentic, Contingent Roles Around Your Holiday To-Do’s - Make it stand out If you like my Sunday Snippets of Support, you can receive them directly to your inbox here. https://www.declarativelanguage.com/sunday-snippets-of-support/guiding-principles-when-using-declarative-language-amp-co-regulation monthly 0.5 2024-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1669674262026-CERDK5CWKVCJM8S8V3YS/AdobeStock_384323594+%281%29.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - Guiding Principles When Using Declarative Language & Co-Regulation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1728325161052-2QVP2N2N1VKDOB4EXVHF/Give+Over+Get+Guiding+Principles+for+DL+%26+CR+%284+%C3%97+5+in%29+%282%29.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Guiding Principles When Using Declarative Language & Co-Regulation You can refer back to these guiding principles when you feel stuck, when you want reminders, or even when you need renewed inspiration.

I’ve heard this question more than once lately, so I decided to hit it head on and talk about it here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/fe9c8fea-c5aa-4821-8b39-b5b4b10af475/2.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? - So, here is that question again: Is declarative language passive aggressive? And my answer: Well, that depends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/9f614a7c-482e-4518-b3df-4e5df3a343c1/3.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? - Is your intention passive aggressive? Is your unstated intention to GET the other person to do something, and maybe even to do it now, because you are having negative feelings about the situation and about the person? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/932e7270-b7d0-4e46-a0a8-6ba5f3341b2e/4.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? If your answer is yes to these questions, then YES, your declarative language just might be passive aggressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/76ae2024-264c-4094-ba34-2a3c9e270847/5.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? BUT, if your intention in using declarative language is to GIVE or offer information, to GUIDE your learner in a supportive way, to scaffold a process that may be challenging for them in the moment or across time, for whatever reason, and you are approaching the moment with a positive intention, then no, it is not passive aggressive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/711860c5-5e6a-4069-8e58-ced6606b6434/6.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? Or, if you are sharing your feelings of frustration or upset openly, in a heartfelt way, then no, you are not being passive aggressive there either. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/71b4cae2-2956-42ed-8ac9-7792a812c646/7.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? - Here is the bottom line: Your intention matters! Passive aggressiveness (I think!) is felt when there is a mismatch between our words and our intentions. Or, when our spoken words and our nonverbal communication do not align. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/e511b55e-95f0-44c2-8bad-3786c91af2b1/hearts+footer.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/c78831f6-8b5c-46cc-9567-1825485d36d8/6.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? - 2. Keep in mind your nonverbal communication. You can also be mindful of your own nonverbal communication, so that it aligns with your words, and your true intention shines through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/685730be-c91b-4355-96ff-22699c31731d/9.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Is Declarative Language Passive Aggressive? - Because, they will receive the whole communicative package.

Inviting language means you are modeling an idea that may be of interest to the child, but ultimately it is up to them if they join, simply observe, or even say “no”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1662892093744-O2QWK0Q1ADO7NMV323ZI/3.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Mealtime: The Language We Use Matters! It is important to understand that mealtime looks different for every child. What feels comfortable for one child may not feel comfortable for your child.

Now, both kids will have that problem/solution template stored in their episodic memory (e.g., “Sometimes a screw might not come off because there is a nut on the other side!”). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1653217841915-860BY16FOHREULSOFGIT/repairs+2-8.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Making Repairs - Part 2 Although Danny wasn’t able to do the whole thing on his own, she recognized that offering responsibility for part of the process was still meaningful and empowering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1653218060542-I9MFTOQE51TXOCINKWDD/repairs+2-9.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Making Repairs - Part 2 The boys assumed their roles readily, illustrating (again!) that the roles were just right for each of them.

Being perfect is not the goal. But, when we make a mistake, an important life skill is to recognize our part in it, and take steps to fix it, or make a repair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1652493614700-1KIIRI65JIQYKV6X3I4E/repairs7.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Making “Repairs” - Part 1 Repairs are usually best outside of the moment of crisis, when we all are regulated again.

It is crucial that we understand where the observable behavior is coming from, so we can effectively help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/0ecec4ac-cd26-46ac-9e2c-a2acd9cbaf9b/interoception+%26+declartaive+Language.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Interoception and Declarative Language Use declarative language to share your observations with your child, paired with true curiosity about what they are experiencing. You may also share your own personal knowledge and experiences, to model what this looks like in action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/917073c1-30a4-4341-81e3-1decef27c4f1/5.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Interoception and Declarative Language Your cheeks are red, and you are sweating.

As I approach the house, I think to myself, “Will they be in the same place? Will they be doing something different?” and “I can’t wait to see the next flamingo scene!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650541591339-Z6A3LT4ZUTC72OB9IE5M/productive+uncertainty4.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Productive Uncertainty When a new element is added to a familiar routine, we may at first feel uncertain around how we will manage it. Yet, we are not threatened or scared. We know we can handle it because it is embedded within a pattern we recognize. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650541755984-QHS2J7WTJT8Z6B4ZPD7F/productive+uncertainty5.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Productive Uncertainty When a challenge is at a child’s edge of competence, they feel confident enough to engage in the learning opportunity, and there is an element that is not yet known. Kids grow and learn as they tackle the part that is less familiar, or uncertain. As teachers, it is our job to create learning opportunities at this place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650541877066-P41IOCQNC0GJPFGEAU9P/productive+uncertainty6.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Productive Uncertainty In - , I discuss how we first must create feelings of competence in kids, so that they are ready and willing to engage in challenge at their edge of competence. Productive uncertainty is a critical element in this learning process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650542248760-7V0T8W8R6CV3AVMUWL8T/Flamingo.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - Productive Uncertainty You can download my original article here! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650542435453-73YXPKTOCF1W2DBM2A0E/hearts+footer.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - Productive Uncertainty - Make it stand out If you like my Sunday Snippets of Support, you can receive them directly to your inbox here. https://www.declarativelanguage.com/sunday-snippets-of-support/managing-screen-time-an-example monthly 0.5 2022-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1650039355455-ECH9A2OQ7FB9YU9VOEF9/hearts+footer.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - Managing Screen Time - An Example! - Make it stand out If you like my Sunday Snippets of Support, you can receive them directly to your inbox here. https://www.declarativelanguage.com/sunday-snippets-of-support/i-want-to-go-first monthly 0.5 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649510476223-KML02EEHZSEXVZWI5EWJ/I+want+to+go+first+1.png Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649513257311-O9WS9Q70952D0S78ILPJ/AdobeStock_218940858.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First! I wasn't sure how to help them come up with a solution they both would agree to. I thought of having them play rock paper scissors and deciding whoever doesn’t go first this time can go first next time. But both kids were adamant about going first and neither of them were budging! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649513512100-PMQP7ME6F0DXI09V9T18/AdobeStock_12779939_Preview.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First! But sometimes, both kids are not ready to let go in that way.

One element that makes an interaction more complex is decision-making. Sometimes we want to transfer the opportunity to make decisions to the child because this will empower them and help them grow in new ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649511120644-M7AFXV0622DN37F8FZ1A/DL+Statements+when+You+child+is+escalating.png Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First! But at the same time, I will use declarative language to validate emotions, and to let the kids know I have a firm plan that I will follow through on, to help them trust that they can let go a little right now: I will make sure whoever doesn’t go first right now, will go first next time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649511783161-FB5OASCRGF5I2A9Q8BXR/AdobeStock_62215335_Preview.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First! "Hmmm... I can see you both REALLY want to go first! I can understand that. Tell you what. I will decide this time who goes first, but let's remember together who it was. I will even write it down, so we don't forget that it was Jack. Then, the next time we have an opportunity for one of you to go first, we will all remember that Jack went first last time, which means it's Andrew's turn to go first this time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1649512215938-Z4U82SGCA5NVC686B1YS/AdobeStock_256224375.jpeg Sunday Snippets of Support - I Want to Go First!

Although he still really wants an axolotl, he can understand why it is not a good fit for our family, and how we would not make the best axolotl owners. Sometimes he forgets, and asks again.

This week, I want to talk about how to scaffold this game, while introducing you to a general framework of how to scaffold any game, really. In short, you start by creating competent roles for your child, and expand as your child is ready. I talk about this process a lot in Co-Regulation Handbook. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1645358848870-AN0QC3JOA57XOZMDAHVT/new+game+2.png Sunday Snippets of Support - Building on Competence… When you think about creating those first competent roles within a game, such as Mastermind, get comfortable putting aside the instructions.

When we do this, we allow kids to also feel and experience mastery!

I’m sure there are many tasks of daily living that you want your older child to learn. But when getting started, it’s important to pick just 1 thing. Think of something that could make a small difference in your lives once mastered. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859003077-3N1RQUE7UXU1ND7SPP6A/CR+and+EF+p2-3.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 3 of 8 Some ideas: Making macaroni & cheese Helping unpack groceries Unloading the dishwasher Making lunch for school Taking out the trash Changing a lightbulb Setting an alarm clock Important: Start small to set yourself up for success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859008736-3GRZEETZMV4ZDL05XTXL/CR+and+EF+p2-4.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 4 of 8 Step 2a: Approach with competence in mind. What is a role you could assign the child to start, where you know they would be competent? (Competence = They can do it on their own, with just a little bit of time and/or a little bit of help) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859018994-XS8SG5R0Z6DE7F3783OU/CR+and+EF+p2-5.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 5 of 8 Step 2b: Create partnership, or contingency, around this role. Once you have identified a competent role for them, scaffold by assuming responsibility for the rest. You are a team, working toward a shared goal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859025163-5VQH5Q7WOXJSCUCH95UZ/CR+and+EF+p2-6.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 6 of 8 Step 3: Transfer responsibility, a little bit at a time, over time. Once you see they have mastered the first role, fade back your scaffolding slightly to offer them a next competent role. What is 1 next thing you could imagine them being competent in? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859031974-12PHI2D0WGUJ8CYY45CG/CR+and+EF+p2-7.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 7 of 8 Here is how one family did this (excerpt from Ch. 5 of Co-Regulation Handbook) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636859038669-CE4HOEFUSTLNA3J6P0ET/CR+and+EF+p2-8.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - Part 2 - 8 of 8 You can do it too!

Ch. 5: Moving Towards Independence: Co-Regulation and Executive Function Use Co-Regulation! (along with DL of course!) Enjoy this excerpt from CR Handbook - Ch. 5! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636286871039-L0TF6Y41RXOKZBSKQ4RW/CR+and+EF+2.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - 2 of 6 Here is how I think about EF: Executive function is the process through which we first conceive an idea; picture what the end product looks like, and think through both the steps we may need to take to get it done as well as the materials we may need. Then, get started (initiate), sustain attention to the task for as long as needed, manage distractions along the way, - both internal (I have to go to the bathroom!), and external (what’s my brother doing?) - in order to shift our attention back to the task as needed. And last, stick with it (persist) until we are done. That is a lot, but we are still not done! Enveloping all these pieces is time management. We need to have a sense of whether we can complete the task in the time we have available, or whether we may need to plan to do it a different day ,and/or do the task in smaller chunks over the course of time. Phew! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636286874956-8ZBFYRFGV2ZJOPQ8XFPM/CR+and+EF+3.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - 3 of 6 With co-regulation, you move away from prompting (& nagging)… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636286879735-9REKZG7TTLKQQB5W42CN/CR+and+EF+4.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - 4 of 6 …& towards partnerships, in which you are transferring responsibility over time, as your child is ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636286889526-A4I9HT1DL584UHJE8XPN/CR+and+EF+5.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - 5 of 6 This shift in our mindset - from prompting to partnership - makes ALL the difference. When we engage kids in multistep tasks with this mindset, everything shifts. It becomes a positive interaction rather than a negative, prompted one, and we both own the learning. We are able to thoughtfully consider what may be successful to the child and adjust as they are ready for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1636287426281-AG55LCOZZR0LCQRLSXNF/CR+and+EF+6.png Sunday Snippets of Support - How do we help older kids become more independent? - 6 of 6 And as always…start small.

They might also struggle to see the big picture, to make friends, to problem solve in real time, and to read nonverbal communication. Meltdowns, tantrums and other challenging behaviors might be common. This book was written to teach you how making small shifts in your language and speaking style will produce important results. You will stop telling kids what to do and instead thoughtfully give them information to help them make important discoveries in the moment. These moments build resilience, flexibility, and positive relationships over time. You might be a therapist or a teacher, or you might be a parent, grandparent, or babysitter. Your child might have a diagnosis such as autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD or Non-Verbal Learning Disability. But they might not. No matter your child’s learning style, this book was written to help you feel equipped to make a difference, simply by being mindful of your own communication and speaking style. https://www.declarativelanguage.com/reviews-for-dl-handbook daily 0.75 2021-12-03 https://www.declarativelanguage.com/downloads-from-dl-handbook daily 0.75 2021-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1583539983973-EPUYM0N80ZDJVKHDHL0E/Book+Cover.png Downloads from DL Handbook https://www.declarativelanguage.com/consultation daily 0.75 2020-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e453d236d120c3378647352/1585339882415-2EIPA7N1IRXGWSNG9HGX/Front+cover+only+Image.jpg Consultation - Consultation We are aware that beginning any new endeavor can be daunting and tricky, and changing your language style is no different.

Telehealth encompasses a broad variety of technologies and tactics to deliver virtual medical, health, and education services. Telehealth is not a specific service, but a collection of means to enhance care and education delivery. CCHP and other members of the National Consortium of Telehealth Resource Centers finalized a Telehealth Definition Framework to help policy makers, practitioners, payers, and the public understand how to accurately apply “telehealth” and its key components. https://www.declarativelanguage.com/virtual-learning-opportunities daily 0.75 2021-01-16 https://www.declarativelanguage.com/keep-it-real-clips
