The Glory Days Planner designed to help parents with special needs kids

National Down Syndrome Month
Posted

Navigating parenthood when having a special needs child can sometimes be a challenge. Parents need to take a whole new course on life when it comes to trying to balance the daily routine, therapy, and other things children need.

One Michigan mom was facing the same struggle, and just in time for National Down Syndrome Month, she is releasing a line of journals and planners to help parents with special needs children.

Mother Amanda Cunningham found herself tracking her daughter Rory's feeding routine, therapy progress, and more by using dry erase markers on her windows. Over time, this unorthodox way of keeping track of her daughter's schedule soon transformed into "The Glory Days Planner."

    The planner includes the following features, making it easier for parents to manage their children's schedules, as well as their own:

    • Space for schedule, to-do, and a section for notes/meal plan
    •   Daily self-care check-in, appointments, and therapy reminder boxes
    •   One day per page + shared weekend pages
    •   Weekly two-page therapy tracking pages 
    •   Full month views
    •   Monthly intention setting and goal tracking sheets 
    •   Medications, supplements, and Doctors note pages in front
    •   8 notes pages in the back
    •   Hourly schedule from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
