We started a new parent support group in Corcoran, CA. Whether you're navigating ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, or other neurological variations, parenting with a neurodivergent perspective can bring unique challenges. 

We will hold 2 group meetings monthly at the Corcoran Family Resource Center. The group is parent-led and will include presentations on resources and fun self-care activities for parents. If you are a neurodivergent parent or a parent of a neurodivergent child, come join us!
