Support group

[Mingle Bells]

Does anyone attend any local support groups for special needs kids? Our PT just sent us an email about a new support group for Cerebral Palsy. We are going to give it a shot. God knows we will need all the support we can get come June :( They provide childcare and snacks, so we can bring all 3 kids and be able to focus on the meeting. I'm kind of excited!

I have not heard of anything like that around here. I would love it if there was but I will have to ask the therapists that come around if they know of anything. You will have to let us know how the meeting goes.

did you have the meeting yet?

I did. It went OK. It was at the YMCA in the basketball court. The court was supposed to be empty, and there was supposed to be a few people there to watch all the kids. 5 families show up with about 12 kids total. 4 of the kids have CP.. ONE person shows up to watch all these kids. And then 15 people came in and started playing ball :( All the Dads ended up staying with the kids and the Moms met. It was a good meeting. We are going to try and figure out a better place to meet next month.

We supposedly have a support group in town for autism/sensory problems, but none of our therapist seem to know where it is. :roll

Min... any luck with a new location? It seems like such a good idea.

Moonie, how frustrating that you know its out there, but noone can tell you where!
