These support groups are for parents and caregivers of children with dyslexia. These groups are organized by volunteers, and they provide information, encouragement and support.
Prior to attending, contact the group leader to confirm the meeting date, time and location. Please respect the purpose of these groups and do not contact them to market products and/or services.
