Isn't every kid special? We think so. But what do we mean when we say "kids with special needs"? This means any kid who might need extra help because of a medical, emotional, or learning problem. These kids have special needs because they might need medicine, therapy, or extra help in school, stuff other kids don't typically need or only need once in a while.
Sometimes real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles. Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work. We use an approach that focuses on learning the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We arrange inclusive parties for children with special needs however; we will have a party for anyone who wants one. We arrange activities that increase motivation, interest, and ability to participate in shared social interactions through structured sensory play.
