As the parent of a child with special needs, this is a place to share the struggles and triumphs of parenting children with all kinds of special challenges.
What kinds of special challenges have other parents experienced? What are some of your go-to coping mechanisms or strategies you've found helpful in managing these challenges?
I'll go first! My child has sensory processing difficulties, which makes going out to public places like restaurants or parks really tricky. We've been working on some visual supports and also trying out compression clothing to help with her sensory needs. It's definitely a work in progress but would love to hear from other parents whose children have similar challenges or any other special needs. What are your experiences?
