Welcome to Woodland/Davis Autism and Special Needs Playgroup! Any parent or family with a family member with autism or special needs is welcome to join our group. My hope is that through this group you will be able to connect with other families and get to enjoy some fun outings in safe, sensory friendly venues.

Let's get together in Sacramento for family barbecues, games, support, resources, speakers, new friendships, parents night out and a general social outlet for parents and kids/teens with Aspergers and high functioning Autism. This is a safe place with no judgements and a chance to relate to others. Lets talk about our struggles, frustrations, and solutions. Suggestions are always welcome.

If there are any other parents living in San Jose looking to organize playdates for younger children (ages 2-12) with autism let's find a way to get together! Our children benefit so much from being involved in social activities with other children, but it is often difficult to find supportive and understanding environments for our children to play in. We can meet-up at parks, have play-dates in our homes, plan mini-trips on the weekend to various parks or trails etc. Many parents with children …

A community of family members and friends dedicated to dealing with Autism and other developmental disabilities, together.  Our goal for the group is to have fun, stress free activities for our children, and have parent activities as well where we can get to know one another and learn new things about treatments, strategies or just everyday practical advice. Our goal is to provide a comfortable environment where you and the children you care for can form lifelong friendships and network in a saf …

Monthly Meetups to get the kid together to play, for the parents to talk and network and to offer support and share resources with each other. My son is 9 years old, and so it might help for others to know that if you have a child in the age range of 8-12, this might be a good fit for your child.

If you can't find a group.. start a group. :) I have 2 wonderful special needs kids.. a 10 year old boy with Aspergers and an 8 year old girl with ADHD. I'm looking for other parents to connect with and share the experience. Seems like we could help eachother avoid the IEP pitfalls, find better resources and possibly create lasting friendships for our children as well as ourselves. As great as our families and friends are, they aren't in our shoes... Heck, sometimes it's a problem trying to …

This group's purpose is to organize events with our awesome special need children/family members with other members who "get it". We will plan playdates, family day trips and organize  events for parents without the kids. If you are a parent of a special need child, want to get support from other parents who face the same challenges you do, but mostly, relax and have fun, with our without the kids, come and join us.

Our new group is for single parents of autistic children. Let's get together to share our stories, ideas and successes. Let's explore group outings, we need our fun time too! Caregivers welcome too. Looking forward to meeting others to connect and inspire each other.

This is a peer led support group for parents with children on the Autism Spectrum. We have some wonderful playgroups and resources in our area that we will advertise on this site! But this group is for parents to come and chat with each other about this crazy journey we all share. We are hosting meetings on the 3rd Saturday of every month at 10AM starting January 2013! We look forward to meeting you!

Starting in September, our Parents Information Night will change to a monthly parents support group called Parenting Beyond 18. This support group will meet once a month, coinciding with the first Club Neuro of the month. We'll meet at EvoLibri's office and once Club Neuro is underway, we'll walk to a nearby restaurant. It is VITAL that you RSVP if you plan on attending, and if you change your mind, to change your RSVP to no if you cannot. We make reservations at local restaurants based on RSVP …
