"I have read everything I can get my hands on to better understand PDA and support my many PDA clients.  The PDA Safe Circle™ is by far the most actionable, intuitive approach to PDA I’ve ever seen."

"I have never felt so understood."

"Shoshana brings depth, compassion, and freshness to the world of Autism and PDA, with lived experience and deep research to support her practice. As a coach, she can name the hard things with courage and gentleness in a way that helps me walk away empowered to pursue my own healing, knowing she supports me every step of the way. Shoshana is a rare gem."

"Shoshana's safe circle has become an essential tool that helps me to conceptualize and track my child's capacity. It has allowed me to think more clearly about where he feels safe, where he feels threatened, and adjust my own behaviors accordingly. Even better — the safe circle invites me to consider what areas my child might be ready to access and develop strategies that will support his growth."

"Rabbi Shoshana is the first person I’ve ever talked to who truly understands not only what I’m going through as the mom of a child who has PDA, but also my son’s lived experience as a PDAer. She is empathetic and affirming and I feel so much better knowing I have her and The PDA Safe Circle™ as a resource."

"The PDA Safe Circle™ is a game-changer."

"The self trust I've been able to develop, over the course of my relatively short time working with Shoshana and The PDA Safe Circle™ Approach, has me facing the start of every day with what feels like an unfair advantage. I've been able to access so much relief now that I can walk through life with this ace up my sleeve of self trust. My previously overwhelming life has eased into one of overwhelming gratitude.​"

Shoshana and The PDA Safe Circle™ helped us come to know ourselves better as caregivers to our truly special and magic kid and we were able to make big impactful changes with her support that prevented burnout in our young PDA child.​ Shoshana has a way of making us feel hopeful while identifying the hard work ahead. This balance she provides families is absolutely a gift."

"Rabbi Shoshana is an incredibly knowledgeable and insightful presenter! We absolutely love The PDA Safe Circle™ as a way to better understand and support Autistic and PDA children. Our Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Therapists, and Physical Therapists feel empowered to provide more affirming care to our clients. Thank you Shoshana!"

"The PDA Safe Circle™ is framing how I can view my son's journey, and I'm encouraged and hopeful for him to thrive in this world."

"After 5 months of trying all the PDA accommodations we knew to help our son with his extreme toileting withholding, we found Shoshana and walked away from a session deeply relieved. Looking at our son’s safe circle, we saw for the first time just how small it was. Shoshana helped us get incredibly granular, allowing us to pinpoint exactly the areas that were within our control to alleviate stress from his day to day to widen his safe circle. While he has struggled some since then, the panic doesn't reach the levels it did before our session. Shoshana helped us remember that our son does indeed desire to care for himself when he has the nervous system capacity to do so."

"Since working with Shoshana and The PDA Safe Circle™ Approach regularly we have seen our child’s safe circle grow in small but steady ways!  Her metaphors and visuals to explain things help me embrace the concepts instead of feeling overwhelmed by them.  Shoshana is modeling and supporting us so we can find a way forward towards thriving, not just surviving.  And we are forever grateful to have found her!"
