Holiday homes for neurodivergent families Avoid strong smells - from hand soap and air fresheners. They can overwhelm or make people feel sick (cherry hand soap) Reduce textures - esp for sofas and bedding. Throws can help if seats are textured, but embroidery on duvets/ pillows can be unbearable.
From troubled & troubling tots to teens - from violent, destructive behaviours to anxiety-based controlling & self-injurious behaviours, we’ll equip you with strategies & techniques proven to help where traditional approaches don’t seem to work. NVR - Beginner’s Mind 9 Sept | Online bit.ly/NVR_BM
