Parent-Support Groups

LD and ADD/ADHD Expert Advice from Eileen S. Marzola, Ed.D.

Q: Do you have a directory or resource list of parent-support groups in the Denver, Colorado area?

A: I don't have a directory per se for Denver, but there are parent training and information centers in each state. Go to http://www.fcsn.org/ptis/ptilist.htm to find the one for Colorado. They will be able to help you find a parent support group in your area.

You can also contact the national parent support groups and see which ones have branches in your area. Try these:

  • Coordinated Campaign for Learning Disabilities (1-888-GR8-MIND, www.ldonline.org)
  • Learning disabilities Association of America (l-888-300-6710, www.ldanatl.org)
  • International Dyslexia Associaiton (1-800-ABCD123, www.interdys.org)
  • Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorders (1-800-233-4050, www.chadd.org)
