On September 16th, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) served at the POAC’s third Annual Autism Fair at Mount Carmel Caterers Event Hall (56 River Rd, Berkeley Heights, NJ).
The Free Family Carnival is for children and adults with autism and their families. There were free rides, free games, free BBQ, and entertainment.
The needs of the autism population are growing. New Jersey has the highest rate of autism in the entire country with 1 out of every 35 children born today having autism.
POAC is dedicated to helping children and adults with autism achieve their fullest potential by providing quality training, support and recreation.
POAC provides training for parents and educators; recreational and support services to children and adults with autism and their families; and training for police and first responders which, we are proud to say, has saved the lives of children with autism all over New Jersey.
Additionally, POAC supports ongoing quality research and promotes legislative issues that impact those with autism and their families. POAC is meeting the needs of those with autism in a very real way every day.
Volunteers’ duties included: set up, check in, monitoring inflatable rides & table games, break down & clean up.
GPA Volunteers (9/16, 5 hrs): Laetitia Huang, Eddy Tian, Xing Liao, Joey Deng
