Itโs the first week of 2026.
The holidays are over.
Life is back in motion.
Conversations have shifted to plans, upgrades, and what this year might bring.
For many families we meet at WINGS, this part of the year lands heavily.
Because while the world talks about holidays to book, cars to buy, and goals to chase, special needs parents are often hoping for very different things.
A calmer morning.
A couple more smile-y moments
One outing that feels less overwhelming.
A moment of inclusion- at school, on the playground, in everyday life.

๐ฆ Progress doesnโt have to be glamorous.
๐ฆ It doesnโt arrive wrapped in milestones or applause.
๐ฆ It is often slow, repetitive, and deeply human.

The challenge isnโt that children arenโt progressing โenoughโ.
Itโs that progress is too often measured against timelines that were never built for them.

๐น Letโs widen our definition of progress to include comfort, regulation, confidence and joy.
๐น Letโs protect caregivers from the quiet weight of comparison.
๐น Letโs build spaces where disabled and neurodivergent children donโt have to earn belonging by catching up.
At WINGS, we will continue walking alongside families. Not toward someone elseโs idea of success, but toward the moments that make real life easier, fuller, and more possible. ๐ฆ
