How To Make the Holiday Season Inclusive for Everyone?

The holiday season brings joy, connection, and celebration, but it can also bring stress, sensory overload, and emotional challenges, especially for individuals with disability.

In this episode of Link Up and Learn with LiveBig, we are joined by occupational therapist Rachel and psychologist Heather for a gentle, practical conversation about navigating the season with care. Together, they explore how to manage disrupted routines, prepare sensory-friendly environments, and support emotional well-being.

From maintaining predictability through structured activities to embracing authenticity over perfection, this episode offers thoughtful advice and small acts of care that can make a big difference. The episode encourages creating inclusive, supportive spaces to ensure that everyone experiences a joyful season.
