You are invited to a meeting of MOCHA-Seattle (Mothers of Children with Autism). We meet in various locations around Greater Seattle and the Eastside on the third or fourth Saturday of each month, depending on the month, usually from 10:30am to 12:30pm (or so). All parents (and family members) of children on the spectrum or with related developmental issues are welcome. Childcare is not available.
MOCHA is a great group, oriented toward upbeat talk about our lives, our kids, and how to help our children develop and heal. We provide support and exchange information. Membership is free, just come! We discuss whatever the members are interested in discussing at any given meeting. Many in the group do successful biomedical interventions to advance/recover their children. Biomedical intervention is not a requirement, but open discussions and sharing of resources for those who would like to learn more, occurs regularly. Come join us at a meeting to learn more!
If you are interested in receiving future meeting announcements, go to yahoogroups and subscribe to MOCHA-Seattle, our announcement list. (The only messages from MOCHA-Seattle you will receive are meeting announcements and reminders for MOCHA Seattle–it is not a discussion list.) If you have difficulty subscribing, email Janelle at tallcedars@comcast.net . To remove yourself from the list, simply go to your own group page at yahoogroup.com and delete your membership.
