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!

 

Dates: The First Monday of the month
Time: 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Location: 27 Burns Ave.
