POSTPONED! June 2nd’s Parent Night & AGM has been Postponed until the fall. See you then!
Are you looking for an engaging, educational environment to meet with other parents who have children with learning disabilities and/or ADHD? If so, our Parent Support Group may be right for you.
The goal of these meetings is to provide parents and caregivers with a forum to:
- Discuss problems, exchange solutions and share information
- Share and talk about common experiences of parenting a child with an LD/ADHD
- Develop an awareness of the services available in schools and the community
- Rebuild self-esteem and foster confidence in parenting skills
Meetings are facilitated by LDAO-C staff or community facilitators. Topics of discussion vary based on the needs of the group.
NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, May 4, 2016
