Finding Peace this Season

How does the holiday season make you feel? Do you count down the days to celebration with utter glee—or do you just wish all the activities would end? Everyone is different—and every family has special needs and limitations. One child with autism may be thrilled to attend a holiday light spectacular, while another may be overwhelmed by the flashing lights and crowds.


Some kids will be happy to visit extended family, while others will find the change in routine, sounds, smells, and food way too overpowering, triggering meltdowns. Finding peace while meeting the needs of every family member doesn’t always go hand in hand—and we want to help you. Take a peek at this month’s issue, and you’ll find excellent strategies and solutions to assist families in reducing stress and finding some peace.
