A place to come and vent, enjoying fun and frolic with families and carers who are sharing the frustrations and joys that go with raising a special needs child or adult. If your charge fits 5 of the following 6 points, you've come to the right place:

1. Has ATR-X (Alpha Thalassemia, X-linked Mental Retardation), or is suspected of having it?
2. Has an intellectual impairment or development delays?
3. Has trouble with eating, possibly prone to choking or gagging?
4. Has problems with both fine motor skills and physical issues that cause problems with walking?
5. Has problems with communication and/or speech?
6. Is yet to receive a confirmed diagnosis?

Maybe you are having trouble getting a diagnosis, or answers to your questions from the professionals. Maybe you just want someone to talk to, this is the place to be.

There is only one rule: We need to respect all members and their opinions. We must always treat others as we would like them to treat us. Any breach of this rule will equate to an expulsion from the group.
