Support Group Listing
BUCKS COUNTY
Ericka Potts
This is a support group for parents, caregivers and families of special needs children. During these monthly meetings the hope is that we can come alongside each other to share information about community resources, as well as provide space to celebrate our milestones and also share our burdens. The special needs support group is a great place to gain support from other parents, caregivers and families who have a loved one with special needs. We meet every third Sunday at Davisville Church at 325 Street Road Southampton, PA 18966. We are comprised of a variety of parents who have children diagnosed with Autism and other disabilities that impact daily life. We support families who often find themselves alone and in need of fellowship and compassion. Our group also discusses a variety of topics related to interventions that help meet the challenges of living with a disability. We often have guest speakers or have topical discussions.
