the holidays? Tue, 11-20-2012 - 2:18pm  How do you handle issues
that come up over the holidays with their SPD?  Does all the
excitement, lights, noise, etc.  around the holidays cause an
issue for your child?  iVillage Member Registered: 05-18-2005

trying to see the Thanksgiving Parade live.  For other events,
make sure  you have an extra adult along in case your sensory
child needs to step out for a breather.  Common sense in terms
of what venues you take your child to when goes a long way.

It can, but we try to limit it as much as possible. We keep to
normal routines, and avoid large crowds and noisy places. My
husband and I will probably split up a lot, one of us will stay
home while the other will take the sibling to do some holiday
things. iVillage Member R
