CHALLENGERS Parent Support Group January Meetup

As rewarding as it is to raise special needs children, at times it can be exhausting. You are not alone! Our desire is to support one another in lending strength and hope with encouragement and resources. We want our children to be the best they can be same as every child. Even though our children have disabilities, we choose to join together helping one another find and encourage their different-ABILITIES. Our first hour we will have informal introduction and receive topics of interest with group discussion. We will have a 15-20 minute break for snacks and one on one sharing. The last 30-50 minutes will be geared toward receiving professional help or training concentrating on behavior management for our first phase. We will grow into a web based group as well. e-CHALLENGERS with FREE educational resources and entertainment that will make learning fun. Our sponsor e-VINE Interactive Library Inc. will help us make this happen. We are a community based group in La Porte, surrounding communities are welcome to visit as well. No membership is required.
