This support group meets once per half term. In the group of parents, some have children with a diagnosis of ADHD/ADD, some have children with autism or Aspergers traits and some have children with other special educational needs but with traits of ADHD/ADD. There are also parents of children who are going through the process of assessment and diagnosis.
They meet very informally and it is an opportunity to chat to other parents who experience similar challenges and to share ideas. Any parents in similar circumstances are welcome to come and join them. The group meets at The Monkey Puzzle in Southwood, Farnborough at 7.30pm.
For a chat or more information please contact Tracy Clement.
