POAC-NoVA developed this brochure as a life-line for parents of a newly-diagnosed child, to assist anyone looking to learn more about autism and to further our mission of promoting research-based methodologies for the intervention of children with autism. It isn't filled with marketing materials, pictures or a pitch for donations! We hope you find it useful.

The brochure is also available to download and updated revisions will be posted at http://www.poac-nova.org/brochure/. Permission is expressly granted to e-mail, print, and otherwise distribute the brochure without additions or modifications.

If you are a doctor, hospital, support group, school, information & referral service, social worker, pyramid resource center, early intervention specialist or work with children on the spectrum, please email Concerns@POAC-NoVA.org to request hard copies to distribute.

P.S.: We invite non-profit autism-support groups to ask for permission to use this brochure as a basis for their own publication!
