đ Christmas and Children with Additional Needs đ
For families like Aimee-Leigh Mahoneyâs, the festive season can feel isolating. Noise, lights, and crowds can be overwhelming for children with additional needs like autism (ASD) and ADHD.
Aimee-Leighâs six-year-old son Harry-Jude struggles with sensory overload at events like Christmas markets or Santaâs grottos, making this time of year challenging.
Every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas, and itâs time for these spaces to become the normânot the exception.
