Come to our professionally run Parent Support Group for parents of children with ADHD. Parents share concerns with each other and hear of other's experiences, coping strategies and referral sources. Meetings also include a monthly topic for discussion with handouts, resources. Dr. Barbo, a licensed psychologist, has facilitated support groups for over 15 years in NJ and PA.

The goal of this Meetup group is to allow children (11-16 yrs of age) with Aspergers and/or ADHD to meet, and play in a non judgmental, semi supervised environment. Ideally, groups would be kept at small numbers (for the benefit of the child) where parents would rotate hosting events in their home. This is not a parents support group. This is solely an opportunity for children to intermingle with other children who are also dealing with similar social challenges.

I am a speech-language pathologist currently working in a private special needs school in New York City. My experience has taught me that the greatest hope we have in helping children and teens with special needs is working together - parents, educators, therapists, siblings, doctors, etc. Though we are all in this together, many often feel isolated. Many do not have enough information on how to navigate the day-to-day as well as the future ahead. Many feel overwhelmed with too much information. …
