Spectrum Connect
Our goal at Spectrum has always been to build a community. Groups offer a profound level of validation and connection. You are part of a community that understands! Through this group, we aim to empower and uplift one another as we navigate the unique challenges and joys of parenting neurodivergent children.
Topics will be driven by individual group members’ interests and needs, but may include adjustment to new diagnoses, understanding the neurodiversity movement, supporting children’s self-esteem and self-advocacy, depression or anxiety, exploring academic options and supports, trauma-sensitive parenting, persistent drive for autonomy (PDA), accommodating children’s unique sensory systems, growing harmonious family relationships, supporting healthy autistic identity, and more!
At this time the plan for the group will be to meet in person.
First group May 11th, 2024
Cost: One time fee of $40

Neurodiverse Women’s Group
This group is specifically for neurodiverse adult women who are diagnosed with or identify with autism, ADHD, or other neurodiverse diagnoses. Self-diagnosis is valid. Whether you were diagnosed early or late in life (possibly following the diagnosis of your own child) this group is a safe space to seek support, exploration, and community. Led by SLP Emily Dueck, this group will explore what neurodiversity may mean for you in the various facets of your life (communication, sensory/emotional experiences, relationships, workplace, self advocacy, disclosure, etc).
Starting January 21st 2024!
