11-12-2023 Coping with the Festive Season

We know that for many families, especially those of children and young people with additional needs, the Christmas season can bring stresses and strains as children struggle with changes in routine or sensory overload.

We thought some of you might find this Christmas Sensory Survival Kit and these Christmas Tips for Autistic People and their families (from the National Autistic Society) useful.

If you have an Autistic child and would welcome some guidance on supporting strategies you might like:
