Traveling With Children With Autism
Holiday vacations are coming up quickly! Many families will take to the skies to visit family and friends, and for families of children with autism, there are additional challenges involved. We've gathered some resources that may be helpful in your travel planning. Wherever you're off to--be safe and have fun!
Lights. Music. Crowds. These elements of the holiday season can be especially difficult for children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). SPD may affect a single sense, such as taste, touch or hearing, or it may affect multiple senses. What this does mean is that some fundamental aspects of this season can be very frustrating for some children. We are sharing a past blog post covering this topic, with suggestions for navigating this time of year.
What are YOU reading?

December is...
Bingo Month, Safe Toys and Gifts Month and Write a Friend Month. So...play some good old fashioned (non-electronic!) games and be sure to put pen to paper afterwards. Enjoy.
