As Fathers of special needs children, much of our time is spent busily supporting the family, going to or attentively finding out how doctor's appointments went, advocating for our kid(s), and simply doing our level headed best to keep it all above water.  It's helpful to know we're not the only ones out there, to have a few peers to connect with, and perhaps learn from each other's experiences as we do everything we can to help our kids and family cope with their unique challenge(s).

A local Meet-Up of Dads of special needs kids. We do whatever makes sense given the interests of the members:

• Grab food and have discussion
• Watch/talk/play sports
• Talk philosopy/politics
• Get the kids together
• Compare notes on special needs resources in the area and our experiences advocating for our kids

Whether your kid is diagnosed with Down's Syndrome, Autism, Asperger's, Chromosome Deletions, Cerebral Palsy, is blind, deaf, has paralysis, any other special need or is currently undiagnosed, let's mold this group into what it needs to be so we can best help our families and children.
