Next POAC-NoVA Meeting...

Please join POAC-NoVA's next Monthly Support Meeting, Saturday, May 17th for Tips for Handling Puberty in Children with Autism
presented by Maureen Nameroff, MS

About our Speaker: Our guest speaker for May is Maureen Nameroff, MS.

She will give us tips on preparing our children for puberty. She will speak about teaching our kids appropriate ways to handle sexual feelings and urges that accompany adolescence, as well as ways for our kids to spot and handle inappropriate touching or sexual behavior on the part of others.

Generally, our kids run a high risk of sexual abuse, so educating them properly IS A MUST.

When: Saturday, May 17th from 1:00PM to 4:30PM.

Where: The Library of the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia, 8900 Little River Turnpike, Fairfax, VA 22031. Phone number is (703) 323-0880.

From the Capital Beltway (495), take exit 52A, Route 236 heading West (Little River Turnpike). The JCCNV is located on the right-hand side, 1.5 miles west on Little River Turnpike, at the intersection of Guinea Road.

More info on the JCCNV is available at http://www.jccnv.org/displayContent.asp?id=64.
