Reading offers many benefits for children of all abilities. However, for those with special needs or disabilities (learning or physical) it can be especially impactful. When families read together, they create meaningful bonding moments. This time builds emotional connection and skill development. 

There is so much noise when it comes to living with a family member who has special needs or disabilities. "Try this, do that, don’t do 'x, y, or z'." Our goal this month is to encourage parents/caregivers.

All the fun of the holiday season can throw off family routines, making it harder for both parents and kids to stay emotionally regulated. Busy season or not, children will follow your lead in how they should respond to the highs and lows of daily life. If you are not regulated, then you cannot help your dysregulated kiddo.
