Lydiksen Parents of Children in
Resource or Special Needs Forum | |
Parents, please join us on Tuesday, March 12th at 10:30 a.m. in the backroom of Cafe Main, 401 Main Street, downtown Pleasanton. This Lydiksen Parent Support Group discusses the issues of parenting children with special needs or learning difficulties, and it's a chance to learn and support one another. Parents will have the opportunity to share ideas, strategies, and resources that have worked well in their families, and give those starting out in the special day classes and resource programs a chance to learn from those who have "been there, done that". Please email Regina Stoops, a fellow Lydiksen Mom, with any questions about this informal forum and support group at berrystoops@comcast.net. |
