Marilynn runs a weekly support group for parents who have children who are struggling with learning disabilities. These parents are as diverse as their children’s needs, but Marilynn continually searches for a way to empathetically meet the parents where they are. From Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) to trouble with math or reading comprehension, each parent shares their child’s ups and downs with learning and their own individual challenges supporting their kiddos. As all parents know, parenting doesn’t stop at the classroom door, it’s a never-ending job that’s best done with a healthy dose of forgiveness. Watch as a group of parents come together to face some of the trials, tribulations, and joys of raising children with so many needs.

This show is not autobiographical, but rather an amalgamation of the many years spent in private practice working with children who struggle with the learning process, as well as supporting their families.  There will be a brief talkback after the preview performance on Sunday, June 9th.
