This article is part of an ongoing series looking at what puts caregivers in their “sweet spots” when supporting a family member with special needs.
Today we’re exploring challenges and opportunities for caregivers whose gift is for creativity.
Creativity is a wonderful gift! It is a particularly valued gift in special needs families, especially when an injection of new ideas and fresh energy is needed. Creative caregivers can be such a tremendous help in a family where there is great need for solving problems, finding new approaches to long-standing challenges, livening up tedious routines, spicing up the food menu, identifying new motivators for therapies, re-designing a home or room for unique functionality, making an old toy fun again and so much more.
