Parents of Autistic Children (POAC) of Central Maryland is a 501(c)(3) public charity that provides training, support and advocacy resources for families regarding Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programs for children with autism.

Read our latest bulletin: Motivations
Why read Motivations? POAC recognizes that autism families already have too much to read and too many things to do. So a POAC member who has already read a new book, reviewed the recent research, attended a conference or been through an experience has summarized the key points for you in a 1-2 page format. Our goal is to save your valuable time.


Please browse our learning and advocacy resources pages for a lot of valuable information.

How to be part of the discussion with other parents: Go to http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/poacofcentralmd/, and click the "Join This Group" button.
