🎄 Christmas and Children with Additional Needs 💜

For families like Aimee-Leigh Mahoney’s, the festive season can feel isolating. Noise, lights, and crowds can be overwhelming for children with additional needs like autism (ASD) and ADHD.

Aimee-Leigh’s six-year-old son Harry-Jude struggles with sensory overload at events like Christmas markets or Santa’s grottos, making this time of year challenging.

Every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas, and it’s time for these spaces to become the norm—not the exception.
