My Kids’ Daily Schedule

Many people ask what our day to day life looks like. We schedule EVERYTHING. For children with disabilities it is easier to know what the expectations are and when. For kids with food insecurities they have to know when every food item will be available to them. If we deviate from this, even if it is for something fun, there is hell to pay. There is always preparation time required for any change in the day. It is hard to just go do something fun. Any who this is what we have worked out feel free to steal it if you want!
