Is there a support groupd for parents with children who have special needs in the area?

Question

I live in Springtown but am always in Fort Worth (TX). I am majoring in Child Development and taking a class called Children with Special Needs. I have an extra credit assignment where I would need to go to a parent support group who have children with special needs. Does anyone know if there are any meetings like that locally? I'm in fort worth texas. thanks!

Answer 1

Does your school district have a Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SPEDPAC)?  They may be able to assist you.  or contact  the ARC of Tarrant Co, maybe they run support groups or know of some.

I just looked up "Fort Worth Tx Special Ed support groups" on the internet, the second choice was a web site called Meetup.com a site especially designed to let people know about all types of groups that are meeting.  If you have a preference as to the type of support group that you would like to attend (aspergers, autism, MR, etc) you can type it in and groups will show up.  I found an aspies group meeting in Fort Worth.  Good luck to you!
