Parent Support Group
The Kelberman Center offers Free ongoing parent supports through our Parent Roundtable group, allowing for a venue to connect within a supportive environment. The group aims to grow, support, and educate each other through open conversation, optional trainings, and individualized assistance, where needed. Our mission includes the following:
- To support and empower parents and caregivers
- To build a safe and trusting community of parents and caregivers
- To eliminate the isolation often experienced by parents/caregivers of children with a disability
Parent Roundtable Meetings
Parent Roundtable occur weekly via zoom, covering a range of topics that shift monthly. Depending on the interests and needs of the group, topics may include: the basics of Autism Spectrum Disorder, managing behavior, social skills, emotional regulation, community resources, and advocacy. Each session begins with a structured training followed by group discussion.
Parent Roundtable Facebook Group
Parents are also invited to take part in our private Facebook page, which integrates a range of resources, recent trainings, and ongoing communication between group members. Weekly group zoom calls are also an option, which generally involve a presentation related to the topic of the month followed by group discussion.

I have been a mentor at the Kelberman Center, and I have worked in the Human Services field for the past 17 years. Also, I am a mom of 3 teenagers and a 2-year-old grandson! I have stood alongside other families as an advocate, and have had to advocate for supports for my own child, as well. I am so excited to be a part of the parent round table; we need to be empowering and support each other.Johanna Johnson
