Autism Portage Support Group
The Autism Portage Support Group is a terrific place to meet other parents, family members and professionals who are caring for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder.
The group usually meets on the last Monday of the month, 7 pm, at the Tupper Street Family Resource Centre, 20 Tupper Street North, in Portage. Meeting dates can be found on the Daily Graphic and Portage Online events calendars.
New participants are ALWAYS welcome!
The goal of these meetings is for those of us living with and caring for children with autism spectrum disorders to share thoughts, ideas, struggles and triumphs.
At some of these meetings, we will be bringing in speakers on a variety of topics. Presenters for the 2009/10 include an RDI Program Consultant, a speech language pathologist, Child and Adolescent Mental Health worker, 
and individuals in the education field.
