Special Needs Support Group

We have designed this group for parents of special needs children to come together and support one another. It is hard to talk with family and friends who don't understand what you face as a parent of a child with special needs.
Come join us as we talk, let kids play, vent, and give our advice on all different subjects and disabilities!
