Who We Are:

The Support Group for Parents of Children with Special Needs is a group of parents who meet to exchange ideas and techniques. The Support Group shares resources through meetings, speakers, lending library, and other resources to help parents deal with the special needs of their children. In addition to providing resources, we assure parents that they are not alone.
