Coping Through COVID
Co-founder of Wondermoms.org Jackie Nunes provided us with a number of resources for families with special needs during the world pandemic. Pediatric vaccines may not arrive until late 2021 or early 2022.
“From the isolation, altered routines, parent job loss and difficulties with virtual OT, communities should support each other as much as possible.”
