Already a busy and fast-moving January

At the end of each year we realize how quickly time has passed.  For me, it feels like just last week we were getting ready to pour wine for Open Our Bottle Night; and that yesterday, the agency was celebrating another successful Cruisin' for a Cause.  But this year, I'm realizing how busy January 2013 is shaping up to be...it too may pass by very fast!

We have three workshops coming to Ontario ARC -- and there is still time to reserve your seat!

• Support Group for Fathers & Male Caregivers with Autism or Related Diagnosis on January 10 at 6:30 p.m.  -- This support group features informal discussion and will cover topics affecting families touched by autism.  Join us the first Thursday of every month!  Childcare is available; please request by December 27.
• Understanding Autism: Communication Considerations for Individuals With Autism on January 17 at 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. -- Brought to you in partnership with The Advocacy Center, attendees will learn how autism can affect language and communication, as well as various intervention models.  Register online with The Advocacy Center today.
• Teens & Sexuality: The What, The Why, The When, The Where and The How on January 29 at 6:30 p.m. -- Learn how to discuss sexuality with your teenager and address topics such as personal safety and health.  Led by Angela Allen, MSW, with the Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities, this presentation will also feature trustworthy and appropriate resources.  Childcare is available; please request by January 22.  You can register to attend this presentation online.

Of course, we are also adding to our Speakers Series.  Be sure to visit us online at ontarioarc.org/speakersseries.  Don't have time?  Then sign up to receive e-news from Ontario ARC and get the latest and greatest from the agency right in your inbox.
