You can help!. You can partake in this annual campaign by adopting one of the families selected by Wylie Center staff in need of assistance this holiday season. Each family has items on a wishlist specifically requested by them. Another option is to make a monetary donation or by donating toys.

How to Handle the Holidays with your Special Needs Child
 
We know being a parent is hard enough without adding the pressure of the holidays. Here are a couple tips to help you make the most of it with your little kiddo.
1. Put your child in charge:
If your child is unable to hang ornaments on a tree, there are still ways to make this enjoyable for her.  You might ask her which are her favorite ornaments so these can be put on the front of the tree where she can admire them.  You can ask your child to sort the ornaments from biggest to smallest or by colors.

2. Don't critique:

If your child puts all the decorations on one side of the tree, let him.  He will be happy with his accomplishment.  Later when he is involved in other activities you can rearrange them.  If he asks, you can thank him again for his hard work and tell him you wanted to space them out a bit so everyone could see the great job he did.

3. Respect your Child's Sensory Boundaries:

Is your child sensitive to smells?  Don't flood your home with scented candles and potpourri.  If your child needs periods of quiet time, don't have holiday music playing all day.  Think of your child's sensory challenges and keep that in mind when decorating and putting together festivities.
