POAC events are safe, welcoming environments where our children can be themselves in a non-judgmental setting. Please note that NJAW (New Jersey Autism Warriors) events require that you join the NJAW Facebook group (open only to parents of children with autism).
You must register to attend all events. To register just click on the Register or Facebook Sign Up button.
