๐Ÿ”ถUnderstanding Sleep in Children with Disability: Webinar
๐Ÿ“…Thu, 4 Jun | 7:30pm
Sleep challenges can be much more common and much more complex when your child has a disability. Difficulties settling and disrupted sleep can affect a childโ€™s emotions, development, and ability to cope. And can leave parents physically and emotionally exhausted, impacting the wellbeing of the entire family. Sleep Consultant Mandy Hose joins us for a practical and supportive webinar. Weโ€™ll explore why sleep can be more challenging for children with disability, along with gentle strategies that are realistic for families.

Supporting families during times of need is at the core of what we do.

Our Parents Playbook features a stack of at home, in the car and in emergency shelter games to play to keep kids supported. It also looks at big emotions in little people during disasters.

We were proud to receive funding through the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) to develop resources for playgroup facilitators an families managing disasters.

Our suite of resources includes this fantastic facilitator guide to managing a disaster, alongside a parent playbook and a real life story of managing a playgroup during a disaster contributed from one of our amazing groups in Forbes in rural NSW.
