Happy Holidays From Us to You!
MKSA wishes all of our friends a happy, healthy and peaceful holiday season. Remember to take some time out of your busy schedule and enjoy your loved ones with some special relaxing time. Happy holidays and happy new year!
Special Needs Children and the Holidays
The shopping! The parties! The gift lists! Family visits, school projects and more! Finding balance during the holidays is not easy, and it can be more of a challenge for a family of a child with special needs. For some tips on how to stay grounded and avoid feeling overwhelmed this season, read more. 
What To Do This Holiday Season
In between the shopping, baking and preparing for the holidays, there are so many events waiting to be enjoyed! There are light shows, tree and menorah lightings, plays, and many other celebrations to enjoy. For a list of events, read more.
Attend a free workshop!
Be sure to regularly check our Event Calendar! MKSA offers free provider workshops and free parent workshops. These give our providers opportunities to stay current on issues while maintaining their professional development hours. And we are looking to connect in more ways with families--whether in our program or not--and provide information and strategies on typical childhood topics. We hope to see you soon!
