The Holiday Season is a source of wonder and fun for families. However, it can bring some challenges to children and adults on the Autism Spectrum.
Have a look at the visual below to discover some useful tips on how to reduce anxiety and other triggers linked to Xmas traditions.
Being a parent is a 24/7 role and it can be even more demanding when your child has special needs. It can take its toll on an emotional and physical level.
Scope has launched NAVIGATE a mentoring service for parents of children with special needs who might need emotional support.
It is a 6 weeks programme, on 1:1 and it is tailored to what the parent needs .
Have a look at the video below narrating the experience of a parent who used the service.

Worried about Livestreaming and online video apps?
Not aware of what the dangers are for children?
As with most things children do, there can be negatives as well as positives, which includes risks to the safety or wellbeing of children. The risks can be different depending on whether a young person is hosting or watching livestreams.
These are some of the things you might want to discuss with your child:
- Feeling Pressured
- Feeling less inhibited online
- Talking to strangers online
- Bullying comments
- Videos being taken and/or shared without consent
