Dear Readers,
November is often a month of transition. For many, the air begins to get crisp and cold. The leaves have fallen or blown away. Some find this time to be a bit sad with the barren landscape and bare branches reaching skyward. Yet it is also a season of feasts, warmth, and hospitality. Our theme this month is “Navigating Transitions,” and for our children, especially those on the spectrum, we need to help them see changes in their lives as new beginnings and celebrations. Whether they are learning a new skill or moving from one activity to another, any type of change can be unexpected and even scary. Giving our children those coping skills and support to help them through the major and even minor transitions in their lives will benefit them greatly.
