Spark Pierce County is a new program of PAVE specifically for youth and young adults ages 14-21 with developmental or intellectual disabilities gaining leadership skills in their communities and everyday life. This meet-up is a great way to meet other young people with similar interests and learning skills that can help an individual grow while assisting that program in growing alongside them.
Parenting is stressful for everyone and parenting a child with special needs is unique and can be isolating. Come to join us for coffee or tea with other parents who get it. This group is about emotional support, laughter, sharing resources and just having a safe place to talk about whatever is on your mind.
