The Autism Parent Support Group

Third Monday of every month, 7:00 pm, at The Arc of Frederick County.

If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact 301-682-8740 to confirm meeting date and time.




Daytime Parents Support Group

The Daytime Parent's Group meets on the second Wednesday of every month from 11:00am - 12:30 pm. The group usually meets at a local restaurant to enjoy a social lunch together, sharing in conversation where stories of successes and struggles can be expressed within a group of parents who can really relate to each other. They share ideas on different topics and offer support to one another. This is a casual group setting where parents are involved in the decisions about the group.

If you are interested in joining the Parent's Group, contact Amy at The Arc at 301-663-0909 Extension 29. Amy can put you on the mailing list to receive monthly flyers with the information for each meeting. 




Evening Parents Support Group

This support group for parents meets at The Arc of Frederick County the 1st Monday of every month from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.  Any parent of a child with a disability can attend the group.  Parents can bring their children with them and we will have activities for the children to do while their parents meet.  We just ask that parents let us know a week before the meeting if they will be bringing their children.  Parents can contact either Amy or Bridget at The Arc at 301-663-0909.
