Guess who started preschool? πŸ€— We have transitioned from early intervention therapies to school-based therapies and we are not looking back! Covid has taken a lot from everyone. One group that has been hit especially hard is the special needs community. Families who would have access to therapies have been largely stripped of their support systems with the move from in person sessions to virtual telehealth sessions. As you might imagine, Zoom therapy for a two year old is not that effective πŸ₯΄ We did our best, and her therapists did all they could to help, but the fact of the matter is these kids need hands on help. And parents need a team to fall back on!! One of my greatest stresses over the last year has been the weight of Lydia’s health and development falling largely on my untrained & exhausted shoulders. I am just not enough!! So, although there are certainly risks to taking her out, there are also great risks to keeping her in. We just do our best to find the balance. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ» Swipe to see her on her first day. Her excitement to be out with people learning & playing is through the roof. 😁 And she was very proud of her stamp picture. πŸ’› #misslydiefaith #specialneeds #theluckyfew
