Different Thoughts about Spring Break

Spring Break…for most parents, it’s a fun time with kids…maybe a vacation or just staying home to relax and play! For many parents who have a child with special needs, it’s stressful because it is a transition—actually, it’s two transitions. Sometimes, children who have special needs do not handle change very well; therefore, Spring Break can be quite stressful. These children can even lose skills and regress in school. So, be sensitive and support these families who may not have the same feelings about Spring Break that you do. It’s a paradigm shift, I know. They are still adjusting too; but they truly appreciate your patience and understanding during changing times.
