We began in 2001 as a few families meeting in each other’s living rooms.  We have grown over the years to include families, self-advocates, educators and professionals.  We sponsor monthly social gatherings, playgroups, guest speakers, and workshops.  We offer members a chance to reach out to each other at any time through an online forum.  Every year we donate books to every public library in the state.  We host annual Buddy Walks in Portland and Augusta that draw over 500 people.  We provide information packets, and flowers to families with new babies. And we are proud to say that we still meet monthly in each other’s living rooms.  Supporting each other is at the heart of our group.  

Our organization is entirely donation driven.  We exist because great people choose to give of their time, talent and resources.  We can't thank them enough!
