Hi Everyone!
I've had many people asking about how to speak to children about the tragedy in Newton, CT , so I wanted to post some links from the APA which may be helpful to you. The APA has a page Reacting to the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting. You will find tips for managing the distress, making sense of the tragedy, tips for talking to children about it, and how to build resilience.
In addition, the APA has posted its link to learn more about Autism.
If the APA offers more in the future I will certainly come back & update this. I hope this is helpful!
