SUNSHINE COAST ASD SUPPORT GROUP MEETING


“Listen laugh & learn that you are not alone”
The group is an informal way to meet other parents and carers of those with loved ones on the spectrum and also to meet other toddlers, teens and adults with ASD. Share stories, enjoy a coffee in an atmosphere where you can relax and feel welcome. Children are also welcome. There is a fenced play area for children.

No speaker at this stage as last months low key get together seemed to work really well.
