Nurturing Neurodivergence Together- a support group for parents of special needs children. 
This group provides a supportive, non judgmental, neurodiversity affirming environment where parents can connect, share, and uplift one another. Whether your child has autism, ADHD, a genetic disorder, or any type of delay in their development, this group is for you. We understand the unique highs and lows of this path, and are here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Topics in the group may include the diagnosis process, IEPs and related services, challenging behaviors, parental self-care, mental load, extended family relationships, neurodiversity acceptance, and any other topics that are of interest to group members. This group will be geared toward parents of children in preschool and elementary school, but all ages are welcome. This group is led by a preschool speech language pathologist, Marlene Schlesinger. Marlene has two children of her own, one of whom is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.  Maximum of 8 people in the group. 
 
 
What Is ABA Therapy? A Conversation for Curious Parents, FREE
If you’re wondering what Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is and how it might support your neurodivergent child, this one’s for you.
Join Nurturing Neurodivergence Together for a free, informative, welcoming Q&A session with Allison Genovese, board-certified and licensed behavior analyst.
In this casual, one-hour session, we’ll explore:
• A basic overview of ABA therapy
• How it’s used in different settings (homes, schools, and clinics)
• Common goals and strategies
• Misconceptions and concerns
• How to know if it’s a fit for your child
Bring your questions and come as you are—this is a judgment-free space to learn, connect, and explore your options.
