Support Group Happenings
LAWRENCE COUNTY
Autism Warriors
Gretchen Murphy
Autism Warriors is a group that meets throughout the year for events designed for parents, teachers, family members, and children affected by autism. The purpose of the meetings are to educate others and raise awareness for autism. During the meetings, children can participate in group activities with peers. Join us for a fun learning opportunity where you can make new friends and learn something new!

Autism Spectrum Disorder Support Group
Andrea Wright
Meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month at the Children's Aid Society in Mercer Pennsylvania at 6 PM. Childcare is provided if you call ahead. Meetings are open to anyone. Every month we have a guest speaker on a wide variety of topics. Our latest speaker explained the autism waiver. Last year, we had a family picnic and took a trip to Waldameer Water World in Erie, PA. Our Facebook page has meeting dates and times and I also send out email reminders. You can also find local sensory friendly events happening in the area on our page.
