Parenting Kids on the Spectrum – a Peer-Led Discussion Group
Parenting an autistic child comes with unique experiences, and having the right support can make all the difference. Traditional parenting advice may not always align with neurodivergent needs, leaving caregivers searching for approaches that truly support their child’s growth and well-being.
Join us for a welcoming, ongoing monthly discussion group where parents can connect, share insights, exchange resources, and explore strategies that celebrate and support their child’s individuality. Let’s navigate this journey together!

P.A.C.T Parents of Autistic Children Together: A Peer Support Group & Playgroup
A hybrid peer support group and playgroup gathering for parents and guardians of autistic children, or children suspected to be autistic, ages 0-5.
Each event will start with a playgroup and time for parents to freely connect with others. The group will split halfway through, with the adults switching to the learning session, engaging in the topic the presenter is sharing that day. The children will remain in playgroup supervised by our providers. Parents must register to attend to ensure we have enough staff for the playgroup. If you are joining the learning session virtually, you will be sent a Zoom link to the email you provided at registration. We look forward to you joining us!
