Autism & Down Syndrome Support Groups in York, PA

Being a parent to a special needs child can be very trying especially when your child is dual diagnosed. I know the trials and tribulations, the many tears shed through the years and the joys that come with just the slightest accomplishments that most people take for granted. It can be very frustrating when all you seem to do is fight for your child to get educational services, health care or even a babysitter. I've been there, I know what you are going through. With the help of some of my favorite groups and the friends I've made over the years, things have gotten a little easier. I'd like to share those groups with you in hopes that you will be able to gain some piece of mind as well as some knowledge that may help you get what you need for your child because we all know unless you ask, very few will offer information to you. Too many people don't think outside the box anymore in fear of not following the rules, etc. But what about the children? Who will stand up for them? We will! So here are a few of the groups that I attend and/or participate in the forums. I hope this will help some of you.
