There are small active support groups now in several main centres in New Zealand and Australia, while Canterbury people meet twice per term. Meetings may include guest speakers, videos, or discussions. Our store of resources available to members includes books, tapes, videos, and articles.

In the Canterbury area we also run the Funlink Therapeutic Playgroup for school-aged children with Dyspraxia and their parents.
