Holiday Considerations for Neurodivergent Children
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Speech and Language On the Go podcast, we take a deep dive into a topic that’s often overlooked when it comes to speech and language development—behavior. Host (and speech-language pathologist), Erin Larsen, explains how behavior is actually a form of communication and why certain behaviors, particularly around the holidays, might be more pronounced in neurodivergent children.
With the whirlwind of holiday activities, time changes, and sensory overload, this time of year can be particularly challenging for kids with autism, ADHD, and sensory differences. We explore how dysregulation builds up over time and can lead to meltdowns or behavior changes as kids reach their limits.
You'll learn practical tips for managing this holiday season, including how to prepare your child for changes in routine, manage sensory overload, and help them regulate their emotions with effective strategies. Plus, discover ways to ease the transition after the holiday rush, which can sometimes result in what’s known as the "holiday hangover."
Whether you're navigating sensory issues, changes in diet, or new routines, this episode is packed with helpful advice for making the holidays a little easier for both you and your child. Tune in for valuable insights into how you can support your child’s needs and ensure they feel calm, connected, and regulated during this busy time of year.
