Parent Support Groups: Finding Community While Navigating Autism and IDD
When her son was diagnosed with autism, Elise Horne and her husband didn’t know other families navigating a similar experience. Today, she helps parents and caregivers find the connection she once needed. In this episode, The Arc Southern Chesapeake’s Community Engagement Manager shares the story of founding a parent support group, the value of learning from other families and why caregivers need time to recharge. She also introduces two Arc Southern Chesapeake support groups for families navigating life after school and caring for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Learn more about the Charles County Autism and Developmental Disabilities Parent Support Group, connect through its Facebook group or explore the Transitioning Youth Parent Support Group.
