The purpose of the group is to provide support for parents whose kids have multiple needs and many acronyms (PDD, ADHD, NVLD, SID, ASD, CAP disorders, etc.!) Parents like me, whose children need multiple therapies, appointments, school accommodations. It is exhausting, overwhelming, and way too isolating.
