Support Groups
Providing family members and community autism awareness, support & information.
Why Support Groups?

Being a part of a local ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) support group is an important part of helping ensure we as a community help the needs of those affected by these disabilities. Autism affects 1:150 children. If you have a child or know someone who has autism, get involved with a support group and help raise awareness and share knowledge and care.

The support groups held at Dragonfly Academy are dynamic in nature. They will help raise awareness through planned activities, engage parents and family with the latest in autism information through speakers and community events and allow the siblings a chance to interact and address their needs and concerns.

We hope to be soon affiliated with the Autism Society of America with our own local chapter.

RSVP is mandatory to ensure staff and materials. Call 330-488-8100.
