24.01.2022 What a week weve all had, adjusting to social distancing and getting used to doing therapy via phone and video. These guys look like theyre having as much fun as we have!

24.01.2022 As Aunty Helen heads off on a family holiday today, we spare a thought for families with members who have other sorts of disabilities. Helens family enjoys their holidays best when everyone knows exactly what is going to happen (and when - surprises are the enemy!) and when everyone is well-medicated, but the families in this video have other considerations they find help. What steps does your family take to ensure your holidays go as smoothly as possible? https://raisingchildren.net.au/disabi//holidays-disability
