Tweens and Teens w/ Needs

So far, most of this site has dealt with young children with special needs. There is a huge need, however, for material on tweens and teens with special needs.

What is on your schedule this morning? Are you playing outside with bubbles? Maybe your baby is way too old for the bubbles stage.

So far, most of this site has dealt with young children with special needs. We tend to think about getting them started toward talking, walking, and doing things in general like self-help and play. There is a huge need, however, for material on tweens and teens with special needs. (What is a tween? A tween is a child who is almost a teen.) Do you have a tween or teen with special needs? Do you have a topic that you would like to see covered? Email me with your ideas! I'd love to hear from you!

Last night, my daughter spent more than two hours filling out job applications. I can assure you that bubbles are far from her mind today and far from mine as well. What type of job best suites her abilities? Will she be treated fairly? Will she be in a safe environment?

You may have a young child and are looking to the future, or maybe you are the parent of an older child in the stormy teen years. Check out my next article, Beyond Bubbles and Balls, which will address the needs of older kids to communicate at a higher level.

Upcoming articles will also deal with staying home alone, driving, dating, sex ed., jobs, extracurricular activities, and planning beyond high school. Check my articles often. I am adding new material all the time!

Have a lovely day . . . L.
