9-11 News and Special Needs Kids

Posted by Lynn Moore Sep 10, 2006

I remember a young cousin of mine who loved "Rudolph" the Christmas movie. However, every time she watched the part with the abominable snowman she cried.

Was it real to her every time? Because of her young age and limited reasoning ability, her parents could not convince her that it was not happening again.

Parents of children with limited language or cognitive abilities deal with this regarding movies, news casts, and even plays.
