Exceptional Needs Today Magazine And Autism Coach Deanna Picon Offer Successful Holiday Tips For Special Needs Parents

The November Issue Provides Valuable Holiday Tips And Resources For Autism And Special Needs Families

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and spending time with loved ones. However, for families with special needs children, it can also be a time of stress and isolation. To help ease the burden and make the holidays more enjoyable for these families, Exceptional Needs Today Magazine and autism coach Deanna Picon have teamed up to provide valuable tips and resources for special needs parents in their November issue.

Picon, founder of Your Autism Coach LLC and author of "The Autism Parents' Guide To Reclaiming Your Life", offers strategies to help parents navigate the holidays with ease.

In her article, “Flipping the Script” For A Great Holiday Season When There Are Special Needs, Picon addresses common issues such as loneliness and depression. She emphasizes the importance of celebrating with people and at places where parents feel comfortable and welcome. Picon advises mothers and fathers to take some time for themselves and maintain a positive mindset. She also recommends that parents focus on their own family's needs and not compare themselves to others, as every family is different.

“As a mother of a non-verbal, young man with autism, I understand the unique struggles and challenges families face during this special time of year,” says Picon. “I want to encourage parents to take back control of their holidays so they can have a memorable and stress-free season with their families.”

"We are excited to have Deanna as a contributor for our holiday issue," says Amy KD Tobik, editor-in-chief. "Her expertise and personal experience will be a beneficial resource for our readers, and we hope this issue will help families have a more joyful and inclusive holiday season."
