All of us at First Leap wish you a great holiday break!

Parents: We’ll be closed from the 23rd of December until the 2nd of January.

Have no fear! Here are a few holiday autism tips to hold you over through this chilly weather!

Holiday Autism Tips

Holiday Autism Tip # 1: Create a home base! Your child may feel more comfortable during the holidays if they have a quiet or safe spot they can retire to if people begin to feel overwhelming!

Holiday Autism Tip #2: Stay ahead of the game! Inform relatives and friends about your child’s preferences and behaviors before you gather together. Preparation can make all the difference!

Holiday Autism Tip #3: Read social stories about the holidays to your child! These stories can be a great way to teach a child what type of events and people they might interact with during the holidays!
