This was another really important topic we discussed today as it's a question we get a lot in the clinic and that is about sending a child with a neurodisability to daycare.
There are many reasons a family will send a child to daycare, so the parents can work or get some respite or it may be to socialise their child. Dayna and I discuss the benefits and importance in some circumstances of sending a child with a neurodisability to daycare and how to find the right daycare for your family.
The biggest advantage to children attending daycare is the social connections, learning to play, taking turns, being around children of the same age, play with children of the same age is integral to a child's development. Daycare's are a great facilitator for play and general development on all levels.
We discuss how beneficial our family found daycare for my child, what challenges we faced when it came to getting our child into daycare and how we knew it was the right place for our family.
