Grand Lake Autism Support Network
Our monthly meetings have been held on the second Thursday of every month beginning at 6:30 pm at Cornerstone Church located at 501 East 13th Street in Grove, Ok. However, at this time, we will not be having our monthly meetings in Grove. We plan to begin meeting again in the spring. There has been a new support group started in Vinita. "Vinita Autism Support Group Network" - an addition to the Hope Foundation. I will have more information on time and place of this meeting soon. Please continue to check back with this web-site for new information concerning the Grove group.

Library Books
All three support groups offer a variety of books on Autism and Aspergers dealing with many issues that we face. We have a range of books dealing with issues from pre-school to transitional services, hygiene to name a few. Books are free to check out at each meeting and we ask that you bring the book back at the next meeting. If you would like more information, contact your group facilitator. Also, we have #2 and #3 of the Floortime DVD's which can be checked out. We can mail them, and you are only responsible for mailing them back. Check out time (for the DVD's) is 2 weeks. E-mail me to let me know if you are interested in either of these things.
