If your child has a disability, it is a strain on parents emotionally and financially. If one of your children has a physical or learning disability, your finances are probably not one of the areas that you want to focus on. However, with mounting medical bills and perhaps the additional cost of specialist equipment and help with the care of a child with a disability, this is something that you may well need to turn your attention to, as research shows that 40% of families with special needs children are placed under financial strain to meet their child’s additional requirements.

In November of 2013 SentioLife Solutions, Ltd. that designed and sells KidCompanions Chewelry since 2007 launched their new line of oral-motor tool called SentioCHEWS.

Parents immediately asked how these two chew necklaces differ. How do they compare in size, durability, and ability to satisfy the need to bite and chew? Do SentioCHEWS have all the same features as KidCompanions Chewelry has that bring parents peace of mind? AND the biggest eye opener/elephant–in-the-room is WHY the difference in price. Each SentioCHEWS costs you only $10,95 Canadian and our regular price for KidCompanions Chewelry is $17,49 Canadian.

Holidays Ring “Hollow” For Some Children with Special Needs

ADHD, Asperger's, Autism, Bipolar Mental Health, Blog, mental disorders/illness, Sensory Processing Disorder, Special needs children, Tourette Syndrome

Holidays and celebrations, like Easter, Thanksgiving, and birthdays, should be a happy time in families. When I think back to those days of celebration, when our children were growing up, the memories I have are not at all happy ones. Unfortunately holidays are often very stressful for many families of children with special needs like autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Tourette syndrome, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, etc. Why do these kids with challenging needs hate almost everything about family gatherings associated with celebrating holidays and birthdays?

Asperger's, Autism, Blog, IEP Accommodations School, Sensory Processing Disorder, Special needs children, Tourette Syndrome

One successful Tweetchat for The Coffee Klatch I had was with Julie Clark, author of Asperger’s in PINK: Pearls of Wisdom from inside the Bubble of Raising a Child with Asperger’s . Julie Clark’s book is a must read for all whose paths intertwine with a child who has Asperger’s sydrome. True, she wrote it based on the experience she had raising their daughter, Kristina, who has Asperger’s and sensory issues but there is a lot in this book for teachers, parents, grandparents, and all who work with or are raising children who have various special needs. Today you will learn more about Julie Clark, who is author, artist, advocate and mom. She will give us advice on teens with special needs transitioning to high school.
