Some traditions are hard for our neurodivergent kids, we won't be doing anything that's going to stress them out.

We had a great time at Jingle of Joy.

Families joined us for a calm, sensory friendly holiday evening where kids could play, explore, and enjoy the season at their own pace. There was music from the Songbirds kids’ choir, crafts, games, treats, and plenty of space to relax and connect.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the night feel warm and welcoming. We’re grateful to our co-hosts, volunteers, and community partners for creating a space where every family felt comfortable and included.

We loved celebrating the season together and look forward to more community moments like this.

Grateful to support the Salvation Army of North Texas during their Angel Tree work in Dallas.

We were honored to sponsor lunch for the team as they prepared and distributed Christmas gifts for thousands of children, seniors, and adults with special needs.

This is what community care looks like. Showing up. Supporting the people who serve. Sharing small moments that help big work move forward.

Thank you to the Salvation Army team for letting us be part of a day rooted in service and joy.

Getting an autism diagnosis for your child can bring fear, confusion, and many questions. What you do next matters. The first few steps help set the path for your child’s care and progress.

Start by reviewing the full diagnostic report with your doctor. Ask what it means in simple terms. Talk about recommended therapies such as ABA, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. If your child is under 3, contact your state’s early intervention program right away. If your child is 3 or older, make a written request to the school for a special education evaluation and support services.

Begin therapy intake calls as soon as possible. Many providers have waitlists. Ask about insurance, costs, session location, and how often therapy is provided. Call your insurance company to understand what services are covered and what approvals are needed.

Keep all reports, referrals, and notes in one organized place. Once services begin, track your child’s progress in communication, daily skills, behavior, and learning. Progress is often small at first, but it adds up over time.

You do not have to figure this out alone. Early support, the right services, and clear steps can make this journey feel more manageable for your family.
