Support Groups for Parents

Regardless of which communication option is used, one of the things I find most parents are looking for is contact with other parents for support and information. I have set up this web page as a place where support groups for parents can have their web sites listed. For information on Support Groups that are operated via Listservs, please go to our Online Chats, Magazines, Newsgroups, Listservs, Pen Pals, & Forums page. Support Groups listed here support all communication options. Those that support only specific options, such as Cued Speech, Auditory-Verbal, Sign Language, Cochlear Implants or anything else specific can be found on the pages dealing with these topics. Some Organizations can also be found on our Associations & Organizations page.
