Dear Parents,

Does your child have sensory integration (SI) issues? Learn more about SI dysfunction, and find out how you can help your child.

February is Black History Month. Take your kids on a field trip to commemorate Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others who have had an impact on civil rights.

Lastly, Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Enjoy some sweet treats with your kids, and then plan a kid-free night out, borrowing ideas from other parents!
