We are insanely appreciative to POAC and all the amazing events that they’ve put on for our family. My 4 year old has autism and it can be lonely at times. I love the sense of community that you feel when you are at a POAC event and I love the judgement free zone that they provide. I was a wreck a year ago when my son was diagnosed and they have helped us immensely. Their staff is phenomenal and answer any questions I ever have right away. Mr. Gary is one of the most amazing men that I have ever met and his son Chris is so adorable and so lucky to have him. It’s amazing all of the trainings that POAC provides our police officers with. I can’t say enough good things about this amazing organization.

POAC is the most amazing organization my family and I have ever been involved with and they are truly FAMILY! They provide trainings and workshops to families and education professionals, assemblies for students and their Autism Shield Recognition and Response training to tens of thousands of First Responders throughout New Jersey. Their recreational events are open to not only the individual with autism but their families as well. As I said before, POAC is family and I am forever thankful for all that they do!

Such a God send organization to be part of, we are new members and so far we’re like, why didn’t weknew about this sooner? Our first time attending was during the Mt. Carmel Carnival which was so fun for both our kids. Love the fact that you can always take the entire family on every event because they include the siblings at times. You’ll feel comfortable with no pressure at all to be part of it, you can choose which events will work on your family’s schedule/proximity, and every single person on the event are so nice and accommodating. Now our son goes to the 8wk swimming classes, it’s just a long drive for us here and there on some events but it’s so worth the trip and we are just extremely grateful. Thank you so very much, God bless and more powers to POAC!

We searched for autism resources and recreation in the central New Jersey area and we hit the jackpot!! POAC autism services provides autism services state wide and First Responder training for our children and loved ones with autism as well!!!! We have utilized many of their autism services as well as autism recreation events. We are surrounded by others who “get it” and have made lots of friends who we now consider family!!! I WISH I COULD RATE THEM 10 STARS!
