Who should attend?
This autism support group is ideal for parents and caregivers of school-aged children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This is a wonderful chance to connect with parents and families with experiences similar to yours. You can share your personal story, or simply listen and learn from other parents. Some meetings will include a local professional to present on specific topic.
Meetings are offered on Zoom and facilitated by two compassionate volunteers: Adi and Shyla.
We are currently seeking two volunteers to join the facilitation team. If you are interested, please reach out to [email protected].
When are meetings held?
Meetings are on the 1st Tuesday of the month from 11:00am-12:30pm. Note that all meeting times are for the Pacific Time Zone.
Special Request:
Please plan to have your camera on during our meetings to build trust and collaboration. Our support groups provide a safe space for parents and caregivers to share experiences, offer empathy, and build community. Due to the sensitive nature of these meetings, we ask that professionals and students not attend. If you are in immediate need or have extensive questions about services contact our PHP offices directly at 408-727-5775; we are here to assist you.
Accommodations: If you need accommodations to participate in the group or need help registering over the phone, please contact us at 408.727.5775 #139 or email [email protected] as soon as possible. We generally require 10 days to arrange accommodations and want to ensure you are included!
