In the village of Bleary in County Down, the local council has been running a series of relaxed Christmas events to help children like Zach enjoy the magic of Christmas. Zach has two older brothers and a younger brother and their mother says Christmas events like these "are just really important - that we can come and do this as a family"."Coming here means that if our children have a meltdown at the door there's no pressure," she said.
Throughout December, Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council has run 11 fully-booked events specially for children with sensory-processing issues, autism and special educational needs."We've put a really a lot of effort in," Lord Mayor Paul Greenfield said.
