Group leader Grace Myhill, MSW, focuses small group discussions on coping strategies for the unique issues that arise because of the neurological differences between each partner in a neurodiverse couple.
In this group, you will have the chance to speak with others who communicate and see the world like you do about the challenges that arise in neurodiverse relationships. Not only are coping strategies and tools presented, they are practiced in the meetings to help group members improve their relationship skills.

Join the Connelly School of the Holy Child community as they tell the story of a rock and roll singer who is about to go into the army with their upcoming performance of Bye Bye Birdie. Watch Holy Child students and guest actors from Landon and the Heights School put on a performance of this classic musical act on Friday, February 28th at 7:00 pm and Saturday, February 29th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm and on February 22 at 11:00 am for a special sensory friendly performance.
You can also join Holy Child on February 22nd at 11am for our sensory friendly performance of Bye Bye Birdie. For this performance, the house lights are only turned down slightly and the music is soft! The audience is permitted (and encouraged) to get up and walk around or even dance. One of the benefits of a sensory friendly performance is that kids are free to be who they are and do what they need to do (sing, talk, walk around, dance, flap, carry an iPad) – things that are typically discouraged in traditional theater settings. There will be a quiet room available as well in case someone needs a break.
No ticket required.
