Coffee and Connection
At UnPuzzled Parents Connect, we understand that the journey of raising a child with autism or developmental disabilities can feel overwhelming and isolating. That’s why we offer support groups designed to provide a safe, understanding, and uplifting space for parents and caregivers.
Our support groups are a place to share experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who truly understand.Whether you’re looking for emotional support, practical advice, or simply a community that “gets it,” we’re here for you.
What to Expect:
✔ Open and judgment-free discussions
✔ Emotional support from parents on similar journeys
✔ Resources, strategies, and guest speakers
✔ A welcoming and inclusive environment
You are not alone in this journey, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Join us and find the community, strength, and encouragement you deserve.
Men United
Men United is a support group created for dads, grandfathers, uncles, and any male figure helping raise a child with a disability. This space offers connection, understanding, and the chance to talk openly with others who “get it.” Because showing up matters—and no man should have to do this alone.
Knowledge is Power workshops
Knowledge is power, and at UnPuzzled Parents Connect, we are committed to empowering families through education and training. Our workshops and training sessions provide parents, caregivers, and professionals with the tools, strategies, and resources needed to navigate the challenges of raising and supporting children with autism and developmental disabilities.
From understanding IEPs and therapy options to managing stress and advocating for your child, our trainings are designed to equip families with the confidence and knowledge they need to thrive.

Therapy and Counseling
At UnPuzzled Parents Connect, we know that emotional and mental well-being are just as important as physical care. The Listening Room is our dedicated therapy and counseling program, providing parents and caregivers with a safe space to share, heal, and grow.
Through professional guidance and peer support, we offer stress management tools, coping strategies, and a community that understands. No one should have to navigate this journey alone—The Listening Room is here to listen, support, and empower you.
Find the support you need. You are not alone.
Impact West Virginia
At UnPuzzled Parents Connect, we believe in building a world of acceptance—a place where children and adults of all abilities are understood, supported, and included.
Impact West Virginia is a new initiative focused on creating real change in our communities through:
• Classroom Kits for Inclusion that bring disability awareness and kindness into schools
• Business trainings to help organizations better serve neurodivergent individuals and families
• Community presentations focused on creating more sensory-friendly and inclusive spaces
Our goal is simple: to help make West Virginia a place where every family feels seen, supported, and welcome.
Together, we can build communities that don’t just accept differences—but celebrate them.
🌟Brining Inclusion to Schools🌟
Including shouldn’t be a bad word. We are on a mission to impact students by providing books about autism to elementary classrooms in partnership with the schools. Through these resources, we aim to foster inclusion, understanding, and meaningful connections among students by teaching them how to support and engage with their peers on the autism spectrum.
Together, we are creating a more accepting world—one classroom at a time.
Steps for Inclusion
Our biggest event of the year — and one that truly brings our mission to life.
Steps for Inclusion isn’t a walk; it’s an experience. We created this event to go beyond awareness — to show what real inclusion looks like in our community. Through hands-on activities, education, and connection, we’re breaking barriers and creating a space where every individual and family feels seen, valued, and included.
As our largest annual fundraiser, Steps for Inclusion helps UnPuzzled Parents Connect continue offering free programs, therapy and wellness support, and inclusive events for families of children with disabilities.
This past year, we proudly served over 500 people — and that number continues to grow, thanks to the incredible support of our community. Together, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a world where everyone belongs
Community Events
UnPuzzled Parents Connect has hosted a variety of community events designed to bring families together, reduce isolation, and promote inclusion. These include our Empowering Families conference featuring expert speakers like Dr. Kerry Magro, sensory-friendly family photo sessions, seasonal Halloween events, sensory camps, and fun, inclusive experiences like our upcoming Bubble Luau Park Day. Each event is thoughtfully created to support families of children with autism and developmental disabilities—offering connection, joy, and meaningful community engagement.
