Learning or suspecting that your child may have a cognitive challenge can be confusing and stressful. You’re not alone! Neurodiverse Parenting is a support group for parents with Neurodiverse children (ages 3-15). Neurological differences may include:
- ADHD
- ADD
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- FASD
- Dyspraxia
- Dyslexia
- Brain damage from accident, injury or trauma
- Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)

Your child does not need to have a diagnosis for you to participate in the group.
Neurodiverse Parenting focuses on bringing parents together to feel supported and part of a community, to know they are not isolated or alone in the challenges they may be experiencing. Together we will explore common challenges, share ideas, and celebrate success while supporting one another!
