Planning for future time periods can be challenging when there are not enough resources around that suit an individuals specific needs. Researching all of the available programs is necessary to determine whether their topics, physical environment and staff qualification and experience meet the needs that you are looking for. One of the big challenges can be the gaps between what is needed versus what is available. With the large quantity of providers around, navigating through the professional qualifications and experience levels can be challenging for parents especially when there are limited budgets to spend. The transition from time spent at school to being at home without programming is a significant burden for families to cope with. Planning for the development of hobbies which can support being at home and being able to occupy yourself for longer periods of time can help reduce the impact of parents needing to provide 1:1 interaction to fill in the day.
