How the COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts Kids with Special Healthcare Needs
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting everyone, in different ways.
How are children with special healthcare needs uniquely impacted -- especially those who often receive important care during the school day?
Dr. Lynn Davidson says that parents and family members are required to "get creative" in getting access to necessary therapies. She also advises that parents be okay with doing the best they can, given the circumstances. Some of that involves getting "back to basics;" things like using cooking lessons to teach measurements or flash cards for word development.
Listen as Dr. Davidson joins host Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss how families can cope with the current situation.
