Another year ends

 Hello out there...

I recently got a response to a post so I am know I am not the only one who is feeling the isolation.  I tried to track down what has happened to SEPAC, the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee that used to meet monthly at MARESA.  I know they were meeting virtually up till last March, but after that I don't know what happened.  I didn't get any response when I tried to contract the group through MARESA.  For years they were the best option for parents of school age children who were looking for a support group.  

For what it's worth, I'm on the reference desk Wednesdays from 4:30-8:30 pm, and it is generally quiet, and it would be totally appropriate for me to point people to whatever available resources I can drum up.  Feel free to stop by Peter White those hours or call the reference desk at 906-226-4312 and ask for Ellen.  

Michigan Alliance for Families has been running a lot of online workshops.  I catch them when I can; they are usually pretty good.  Get on their mailing list, if you aren't all ready.  https://www.michiganallianceforfamilies.org/upcoming-events/

I'm a member of the Autism Society of Greater Wisconsin as I've benefited from some of their programs.  Their online teen hangout is the only autism-centered group I know of for teens that takes place in real time.
