A huge thank you to Mirror Mirror and Main Street Landing for sponsoring a special holiday visit with Santa for children with special needs. Lindsay Chisholm helped organized this amazing event. We were warmly greeted by Lindsay handing out candy canes and stickers. The event was held at a quiet venue where there were numerous toys to play with, crayons to color with, books to read, and of course Santa Clause and Mrs. Clause sitting in chairs waiting for children to come and visit. It was such a stress free environment. Kayla played with the toys, read some books, and reluctantly went to visit Santa. Santa was amazing at coaxing Kayla to come closer and to engage with him. There wasn’t any need for social stories or prepping her for how many kids would be there. She did not need to wear headphones to tune out excessive noise, and she had no problems making decisions. It was the most enjoyable visit to Santa that we have had in the last 6 years!
Thank you Lindsay for putting on such a wonderful and much needed event!
