Parent Support Groups: Building Stronger Families Together
Parent Support Groups offer a valuable space for parents and guardians to connect, reflect, and grow alongside others who are navigating similar experiences. These groups are more than just a chance to talk—they are a vital source of encouragement, insight, and practical guidance. By coming together in a safe, welcoming environment, families can share challenges, exchange strategies, and celebrate successes, no matter how big or small.
There is tremendous value in learning from one another. Each family brings its own wisdom, shaped by personal experiences, cultural backgrounds, and individual journeys with their children. Whether discussing everyday parenting struggles or more complex concerns, parents often discover new perspectives, helpful tools, and a renewed sense of confidence through these interactions.
Our support groups are designed to be relaxed, inclusive, and genuinely helpful. They offer a non-judgmental setting where families can feel heard and understood. These gatherings also foster a sense of community, helping parents realize they are not alone and that others truly understand what they’re going through.
We warmly invite not only parents and guardians but all family members of our students to participate in these meaningful sessions. In addition to our Parent Support Groups, we host a range of workshops that further equip families with tools and knowledge to support their children’s development and well-being.
If you’re looking to connect with others, gain support, and be part of a caring community, reach out to us to find out when the next Parent Support Group is taking place. We’d love to welcome you.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a widely recognized approach to helping individuals—especially children with autism—develop social, communication, academic, and self-help skills. ABA uses positive reinforcement and data-driven methods to encourage meaningful, lasting behavior change.
1-on-1 ABA Therapy
In a one-on-one setting, a therapist works directly with a child, tailoring every interaction to their individual goals and learning style. This personalized attention allows for immediate feedback, more consistent reinforcement, and data collection that informs ongoing adjustments. One-on-one therapy is especially effective for teaching foundational skills such as language development, behavior regulation, and daily living tasks.
Group ABA Sessions
Group sessions involve several children working together with one or more therapists. These settings are ideal for practicing social skills, turn-taking, emotional regulation, and cooperative play. Group therapy helps children generalize the skills they’ve learned in 1-on-1 sessions and apply them in real-world social settings.
Benefits of Both:
1-on-1: Highly individualized, ideal for teaching new or complex skills, and effective for addressing specific behavioral challenges.
Group: Promotes peer interaction, social learning, and generalization of skills in a more naturalistic setting.
Combining both approaches can provide a well-rounded therapeutic experience, helping children build core abilities while also learning to navigate social environments with confidence.
