Make sure to save this for the next time you need this reminder 🫶

And if you are a parent further down your journey, send this to every newly diagnosed family you know!

Community is everything during all phases of parenting an autistic child or child with a disability, but it is critically important in the beginning.

At The Connected Parent, a major part of our mission is to provide parents with a supportive network where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.

We have already cultivated that here on our IG, but we're excited that now, in addition to our searchable resource database on our website, you can also access our member community directory!

This directory allows you to follow and connect with other members on our platform who are either local to you or who have tagged themselves with an interest in certain diagnoses that might be similar to what your family is interested in too.

By following another member, you are able to read all their reviews, get notified every time they post something new, and connect with them on outside social platforms too.

So if you are looking for connection with other families like yours, get in there and update your public profile!! 

(And of course, all of this is FREE to families!)

Here's how:

✨ Comment "community" for the link to TCP and create a FREE account or sign in
✨ Select "My Account" and "Edit Profile" in the top right corner
✨ Share what you want on your public profile & hide what you don't
✨ Go to Your Connections and Make New Connections to search for & follow other members in our community!

That's it 🙌

And if you need a first person to follow, you can check out my TCP profile in the link in our bio - I can't wait to follow you back!

As always, comment below or DM us if you need help!
