Has your child has been diagnosed with

Has your child has been diagnosed with:

• autism
• attention deficit disorder
• down syndrome
• cerebral palsy
• developmental delays
• dyslexia
• a vision or hearing impairment
• a traumatic brain injury
• a speech impairment
• mental health concerns
• or perhaps you don’t have a diagnosis, but you suspect autism, ADHD or some other kind of learning issue exists

The world is not always kind to kids who don’t fit the “typical” mold (or to their families)…..do these sound familiar?

• neighbours have been avoiding you
• strangers stare when you and the kids go to the artificial beach
• your child has been the victim of teasing or bullies at school
• the teacher says your child isn’t motivated or won’t sit still to do their work
• your life has becomes a blur of medical appointments, evaluations, and therapy sessions (most of which your medical expense doesn’t have money to pay for) and the strain of too many bills and sheer exhaustion is starting to show on you and on your relationships
• daycare centers and teachers take one look at your child and say “he just won’t fit in” OR “we don’t teach those kind of students here”, OR “we’re don’t have enough…..(time, staff, resources) to care for your child”.

You are NOT alone –

These are people who understand what you are facing and value both you and your child. At our support group everyone understands that you are the most VITAL element in your child’s success.

Our Support Group can help!

Our Support group is being designed specifically for you — a parent raising a child with special physical, emotional, or educational needs. — a voluntary mother desperately wanting to help parents with special needs. — a self motivated volunteer with experience on Community Based Organisations. — an International NGO(Handicap International) to help us grow. — a young motivated wheelchair user who is experiencing the difficult life in our closed community. We want to be your one-stop destination for practical information, success strategies, and moral support.

Visit our meetings and be a part of this noble cause. Make your presence at our meetings and get involved. Our mission is to connect parents to answers.

Questions? Comments? drop us a note, we’d love to hear from you.
