Our goal for this group is to get out, get active and show off what we know. We take "field trips" with our tots, arrange play dates in doors and out and share all the goods about being a parent. Expect to take away great parenting and fitness tips, recipes, craft ideas, hidden gems to explore, and most importantly a new found relationship with local families.

POCWSN = Parents of children with special needs I know many parents that are in need of support, even if it's just a shoulder to cry on. As a mom of a child with ASD and ADHD, I know the frustrations that arise on a daily basis. My goal is to find ways to support one another. I would like to establish play dates, coffee breaks, Parents night out and whatever any one else feels they need. I am not a doctor or therapist.  I am just a mom looking for support and advice from other parents.
