PARENTS ADVOCATING FOR CHILDREN ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

The Office of Pupil Personnel Services has helped to form a new parent group which meets monthly at Beacon HS. The group is comprised of parents of children on the Autism Spectrum who attend Beacon schools or are attending local BOCES programs from Beacon.  The Director of PPS, along with an autism consultant from the Anderson Center for Autism, coordinates and supports the efforts of the parent group. The focus of the group is to share information regarding various aspects of Autism and to work together with the district in meeting the needs of students with Autism.

The meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of each month from 7-8:30pm at BHS. The dates are:

January 21

February 18

March 18

April 15

May 20

June 17

 

All parents who have any interest are free to join the group. Any questions can be directed to the Office of PPS at 845-838-6900 ext 2024.
