Parent Support Group
Our Parent Support Group meetings are designed for
parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends of children with DS of all ages
where insightful information is presented by a guest speaker,
followed by an opportunity for everyone to share their experiences and concerns.
We have meetings at four locations:
San Antonio (English & Spanish meetings), New Braunfels, and Floresville.
Our Program Director for the Parent Support Group is Mendy Roberts.
For questions or more information about the Parent Support Group Program,
