Helping Your Children Understand the COVID-19 Situation

Supporting our children and helping them understand the changing context of their everyday life during the current situation is very important. Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to impact our lives in varying ways. And while we, as parents, struggle to adapt, our children, particularly those with speech and language difficulties, often struggle even more. It is up to us to provide guidance, support and communication materials that help them (and us) navigate this challenging time.
