MNAPT is committed to sharing resources to parents, teachers, therapists, daycare providers, etc. Children ask questions about what is happening at their schools, neighborhoods, what their friends are talking about. Here are some resources to help with current event conversations.

**Commenting will be turned off and previous comments deleted as this is not a place for discussion on these topics. It is a place for resources. If you have an additional resource you would like shared or have questions for MNAPT, please send us an email us at minnesotaapt@gmail.com.
