🍂 Thanksgiving Tips for Families 🍂
Hosting or attending Thanksgiving with kids who thrive on routines or need extra support? Here are some simple tips to help everyone enjoy the holiday:
🦃 Plan Ahead
Discuss the day’s schedule and expectations beforehand. Visual supports, like a simple timeline or pictures, can help everyone know what to expect.
🥧 Create a Comfort Zone
Set up a quiet space for anyone who might need a break from the noise and activity. A comfy chair, headphones, or a favorite book or toy can work wonders!
🍁 Honor Preferences
Offer familiar food options alongside traditional Thanksgiving dishes. Everyone should feel included at the table!
💛 Keep Communication Open
Encourage kids to express their needs in whatever way works for them—through words, gestures, or AAC devices.
✨ Remember, the best memories come from making the day enjoyable for everyone. Flexibility, understanding, and a little planning go a long way!
