What a week 2021 has been! Just when you think things are going smoothly all hell breaks loose and everything has changed before you can even say “Happy New Year!”. In true 2021 fashion, this blog was meant to be something completely different to what it is now.

It’s a new year, which is the perfect time to talk about realistic goal-setting with your children.

Songs & Stories are part of our normal routine, allowing for a smoother transition into the Christmas season which can be an overwhelming time for some neurodiverse (and neurotypical!) kiddos.

Christmas season is just around the corner (or already here for those of us who couldn’t wait!).
