We are a group of parents/caregivers and educators who get together monthly to offer support, share ideas and resources, and empower each other as we experience the successes and challenges of supporting children with dyslexia, and other processing or learning differences. Typically, our meetings include a guest speaker, but sometimes we just talk and share ideas.
The group is parent/caregiver-moderated and free. It is intended to be a safe place where parents can freely share what they are going through with others who understand. Members who have managed similar challenges are able to offer insight, experience and support.
When: Generally the 2nd Monday of the month, September – May, 7:00-8:00 pm. (See exceptions for October and November)

2025 Dates: February 10, March 10, May 12 (No January or April meeting)
We are always looking to expand our reach; please help us spread the word to other parents in your schools and community. We are also exploring ideas around small outdoor gatherings/play dates. If that’s something that interests you, please email us!
