The Rosy Road Presents: A Morning for Parents of Autistic and Neurodivergent Children
Registration for this event will close on May 17, 2024 @ 10:00am.
Allowed Ages: Over 18 and up
Program Description
Event Details
If you are a parent of an autistic child or another neurodivergent with similar social, emotional, and sensory challenges, this is the group for you. Raising a child with exceptional needs does not come with a map. It can cause families to avoid social situations which leads to isolation. You are not alone. Join us and share anything you need to get off your chest. We are here to support you. This month we will also touch on neurodiversity affirming practices. Learn about this mindset and help change the narrative of autism and neurodivergence.
With warmth and anticipation,
The Rosy Road, a nonprofit organization
NOTE: Out of respect for participants who may share sensitive information, please plan to arrive no later than 10:10 a.m. Doors will be closed at 10:10 a.m., then will reopen for 5 minutes during a break at 11 a.m. for anyone who wishes to join late. In order to accommodate varying schedules, we will also offer a Saturday afternoon session, 2 p.m. May 18. Please register for the date that works best for you.
Thanks to our group leaders:
Lauren Tarzia
