I know this is a little late for the 4th but there are many holidays, and family get-togethers to come
"Family get-togethers are the worst. Too many people. Too much noise. Too much food. Too many opinions on the ways you're raising your children. Never mind the fact that kids with special needs often go crazy during big family events -- they're often not exactly a shining hour for us as parents, either. How can you make it through the meal without chewing someone out, putting your foot in your mouth, or eating your words? If a quiet dinner at McDonald's is out of the question, here are some ways to get through these gatherings without going crazy."
Make an escape plan is one of the ideas presented in this blog post from http://specialchildren.about.com. It's worth you taking your time to look at it http://tinyurl.com/3l3xxh5
Thank you Terri Mauro and your “ Guide to Children With Special Needs”
PS. Parents you need an escape plan sometimes too!
