We have had two meetings so far of our support group, "Always a Parent". At present, the disabled children have Aspergers Autism, Bipolar, Learning Disorders, Down Syndrome, and PDD-NOS. We are intending on opening up the group to the community at large, now that we've worked out some bugs.
For study material, we're using Bev's material, as that matches our needs. We think we could adapt it IF any fathers came to our group.
We're meeting once a month in our church office. It is less intimidating than meeting in a church (for the unchurched).
Mark had some links to other material in the most recent Breaking Barriers.

Are you overwhelmed yet? :-)
