The Developmental Differences group is for parents of kids with all types of developmental differences (sensory processing disorder, autism, ADD/ADHD, PDD-NOS, mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, Down Syndrome, physical disabilities, etc.) All are welcome to attend our monthly meetings to support each other, to ask questions and share resources, while connecting with other parents who get what it’s like to deal with special challenges for their kids.
