Special Needs Support Groups--Burlington and Camden Counties

Halloween is barely over and I am already preparing my Thanksgiving menu and checking names off my Christmas list. I love the holidays, but just when I think my stress level couldn’t be any higher, this wonderful time of the year rolls around and I have to juggle the needs of my children and the desire to make this a great holiday season for them. For those of you who are in the same boat and in need of some support, here are a few support groups in the Burlington & Camden county areas.

About the Author
Dena Russell - New Jersey Special Needs writer
I could sit and write a small biography of my life for you - but the truth is my life never really started until the birth of my beautiful boys, Keith & Ryan. Life drastically changed for me in 2005, as the two most amazing babies came into this world and changed my life forever. Long forgotten were the days of working with inmates at a Federal Correctional Institution, being a participant in an unhappy marriage, and dealing with the everyday negativity of life! When my children were both diagnosed with Autism Specttrum Disorder & ADHD, I embraced the positive aspects of life and made it my mission to make them experience the most fulfilled life possible. Born and raised in Hoboken, I have started the Hoboken Special Needs Parent Group so my children will be able to grow up in my hometown with all of the same opportunities I had. I am so grateful that Mommy Poppins is allowing me to share my experiences and my knowledge with all of you!!
