Parent Support Groups create the opportunity for parent(s)/guardian(s) to discuss any issues, concerns or challenges, provide support and ideas, and share resources and experiences with other parents. We can learn a lot from each other and how we have developed strategies for our children. We provide a positive, supportive group environment to share experiences and learn from one another. Our groups are relaxed, positive and helpful. We also encourage family members of our students to participate in our many support groups and workshops. Connect with us to find out when the next Parent Support Group is taking place.

This structured approach ensures that students develop adaptive skills in a supportive environment while minimizing disruptive behaviors. ... See MoreSee Less
