Check out April's BLOOM

By Louise Kinross

BLOOM is here. It includes an interview with Keith McArthur about his new CBC podcast Unlocking Bryson's Brain, on his search for a cure that might reverse his son's genetic condition.

We also share advice for parents on managing children's anxiety about COVID-19 and ROCK SOLID, a list of tips to help children with autism who find the loss of routine during the shutdown highly distressing.

Want to learn about an American disability rights legend? Check out the Good Morning America video, under "Shout outs," about Judy Heumann.

Also under "Shout outs" is a link to First Aid for Feelings, a free, downloadable activity book for kids about coping with COVID-19 developed by Scholastic and the Yale Child Study Center.
