Sensory overload can make haircutting a stressful time for child and parent alike. Joanna Cetaj used to be a hairdresser who not only attended to haircuts for special needs children, but found it natural to help them feel so safe, they would relax and initiate communication and other interaction with her. She has been recently diagnosed with special needs of her own, and she also is the parent of a special needs child. In her work as a coach and soon-to-be author, she uses her rich experience to guide parents of special needs children to establish the environment at home where they can manage haircuts themselves, so they can shed their anxiety and create freedom and joy for everyone involved.
Tune in to this episode to learn about some of what Joanna has experienced, learn some of her insights to benefit your family, and get her support to make rapid change in this critical area.
