It can be challenging to come up with ideas for entertaining the kids when the weather is cold, miserable and wet. In a way this limits your possibilities, considering that you cannot spend a lot of time outdoors; however, do not fret as there is plenty that can be done indoors too.
Parents of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities such as autism (or other learning disabilities) are often lost for ideas about how best to help their child. Neuro-typical kids learn by observation and copying; unfortunately our special kids will find it a challenge to even learn basic skills such as using the toilet or playing, and for the older kids, there are issues with using money, reading the time and understanding social cues. Parents are often frustrated when, despite numerous attempts, their kids continue to struggle with learning those tasks.
Recently I shared with some parents on the different ways of helping their special child acquire skills. Many a time, parents struggle to teach, not knowing where to start or which skill to focus on. I know what it means as I have been there but over the years, I have also discovered that it does not have to be difficult.
