About this listen
The holiday season is magical — but for many children with sensory sensitivities, autism, or ADHD, it can also be overwhelming. In this week’s episode of The Whole Child Advocate, Dominique McLellan, BCASE, shares practical strategies to help families create joyful, predictable, and sensory-friendly celebrations all season long.
You’ll learn:
Common holiday sensory triggers (lights, noise, crowds, new routines)
How to prepare your child using visual schedules, social stories, and sensory planning
Simple tools to use during family gatherings and travel
The power of predictable routines and quiet spaces
Why being proactive doesn’t make you “overprotective”—it makes you prepared
Dominique also shares calming, real-world tips to help your child feel secure, supported, and understood during this exciting time of year.
💡 Quick Takeaway: Your calm presence is the best gift your child can receive this season.
