Parents of Autistic Adults
Support and Coaching Group
Adulthood is the parenting phase no one told you about! Parents of autistic adults have so many worries and little access to effective resources. I created this four-week group over Zoom to help parents connect and find solutions to the challenges that cause them so much worry because involved, skilled parents are an autistic adult's very best option for success.
Each week I will present information that increases parent understanding of their adult children and build skills needed to connect with them, coach them, and help them thrive. Parents also have the opportunity to get advice on their individual challenges and connect with each other. You can register here.
When
The next group will likely start sometime in April 2023, though this depends on the number of registrants on the waitlist. Please register and indicate your interest in the next session. I will start a new group as soon as we have enough interested participants.
