I can't believe we have reached our one year anniversary at One Place for Special Needs. Thanks everyone for being so supportive. Overall the response has been, "Awesome website!" from both families and professionals. I only wish Nina and I could clone ourselves so we could reach other states more quickly. Please drop me an email and let me know how you like the site or if you have suggestions to make it better. We'll continue encouraging organizations and businesses to add their info here. Help us by spreading the word about One Place for Special Needs to other individuals, families, educators and professionals. This is very much a grass roots effort!

Halloween Tic Tac Toe game - by Slater Software For children with special needs, Halloween can be confusing and even frightening. By preparing for this holiday ahead of time, you will help your child have a positive experience. Practice ringing the doorbell and saying trick or treat. Show your child a mask. Put it on and take it off. Help your child understand that the people he sees are kids just like him and not really monsters. If your child doesn't want to trick or treat, have her pass out the candies. Here are some links that show the steps involved for trick or treating.
