Safety First!

 

Pool season is here! Water is a great sensory experience for many children with special needs. However, it's important to always practice water safety!

 

Here are some important tips:

  • Enroll in swim programs geared toward special needs

  •  Secure home pools with fences and indoor chimes

  • Utilize coast guard approved swim vests

  • Use visual aids to help talk about water safety

  • Use kick boards to practice and encourage kicking

A Dog & His Boy

 

Luca received this book as a gift and we couldn't wait to share it with you! This book is really does a great job capturing acceptance, empathy and inclusion for Scotty, the main character. It's all about his journey with his sidekick, Spillway the stuffed dog and all the fun they have together!

We also want to recommend this for siblings of those with special needs as well since it gives them a character they can relate to!

 

Grab your own copy here!

 

(LLF does not benefit from any sales, we just love this book and want to share!)
