This year we are adding an Evening Parent Support Group.  Come join us for an evening to be supported, to ask questions and share resources, and to be with other parents who know what it is like to have children with unique challenges. Parents of kids with all types of developmental differences are welcome (Autism, ADHD/ADD, PDD-NOS, sensory processing disorder, mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, down syndrome, physical disabilities, medical issues, etc.) This group is intended to be parent/caregiver only and hosted in a private setting in the evenings.
