Parent Support Groups and Links

This list of resources and support group information is not an exhausted reference list. We wanted to provide you with at least one source of contact. There are significant other resources and information about specific disabilities other than what is listed below.

Autism

Parents of Autistic Children (PAC) meet at the Edmond Public Library on the second Monday of every month from 7 - 9 p.m. The meeting format varies from month to month. A $20.00 annual donation to support the financial needs of PAC is appreciated. If this presents a financial burden, other arrangements may be made by the PAC group. Correspondence should be directed to Melinda Lauffenburger at trinitymal@aol.com.
