Topic: Back to School

Online Event: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 from 6:30pm to 8pm, ET

Group Facilitators: A panel of caregivers of children with special healthcare needs

About this support group: Starting a new school year brings excitement, pride, and sometimes anxiety for parents and children alike. For some parents, this transition brings unique challenges, adherence to a strict routine and careful management of daily schedules.

This session will focus on practical tools and strategies for communication with schools, childcare and therapy providers and other steps parents may need to consider to ensure the needs of their children are met in and out of school.

You will receive a meeting link and reminder two business days before the event.
