  • IEP meetings for your child with mental health needs

    Individualized Education Program (IEP) team meetings can be challenging when a child has complex mental health needs. This workshop will help parents prepare for a positive meeting to support their child’s mental health needs in school. It will include a discussion of an example IEP and explore what each section means, what parents need to know, questions to ask, and how to advocate for changes. Participants will also develop a greater understanding of what positive supports and interventions are available and how to navigate disagreements.

  • Support Group for Fathers of Autistic Individuals

    Fathers’ Group is a place where fathers can share their experiences, support one another, and build their toolbox to parent more confidently. We will be having a good conversation over Zoom.

    Parenting can be demanding, frustrating, and at times stressful long after the child is grown. Autistic children can often have unique challenges. Parent Support Groups provide feedback, support, and perspective from peers on a variety of common issues. Groups are meant strictly for parents and do not include the Autistic child.
