Seeking Other Mom's W/ Special Needs kids-Autism Elburn

Hi J.!

My oldest (4) was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2. She also has Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy. Through the clinic that I take her to for therapy (Community Therapy Services) we have a parent support group that meets every third Tuesday. Let me know if you would like the info. I am one of the parent liaisons. :-) Many of the moms in this group either have a child on the spectrum or some kind of delay. I think that Community Therapy Services may have an Autism Support Group as well.

Also, I help run an online support group through cafemom. It's called, "Parenting Special Needs Kids." This group has been an awesome help with support. Here is the link: http://www.cafemom.com/group/32

Both of these groups are a great way to network and meet other moms going through the same kind of issues.

Email me if you want more info or you just want to talk! I live in the South Elgin area, so that might be a little out of your range, but you never know. :-)

Take care,
J.

My girlfriend has 4 year old twins and her son has autism and her daughter has some sensory issues. I am sure she would be happy to talk to you, not sure if it's the same type of autism but I know she has done a lot of research and her son has gone thru some special training and she has seen a lot of progress with him. Her name is erin and her email address is ____@____.com

Good luck to you, I will let her know you might be emailing.

Hi J.! I too am a mom of a special needs child and have 3 altogether. When you mention Elburn, it makes me think of PAA. Parents as Advocates is a group founded by a terrific woman in Maple Park. Their meetings are held in Elburn. I can put you in touch with her. Their are many parents in that group with children with issues you mentioned. I know the group has grown too. Otherwise, their is MUMs...there is a Fox Valley group for that.
