Calendar of Events

    Welcome to our Calendar of Events! Throughout
    the year, The Arc of Prince George’s County
    organizes events that bring our members
    together, raise funds, provide training and
    networking opportunities, and increase public
    awareness about disability issues and The Arc’s
    services. Read about how you can join us at these
    great events.

    Tutoring Services Available.

    The One World Center for Autism can now offer
    tutoring services at its space in John Carroll
    school or (for a small additional fee) tutors can
    come to your home. One World has contracted
    with a company called EFM to provide this
    service, as their mission, is to provide better
    services for children with disabilities. Because
    of their background in special education, they
    hire skilled tutors who are experienced in
    working with children with autism and other
    disabilities. Offering tutoring in subjects from
    high school algebra to preschool, pre-reading
    skills, these tutors can also work with your child
    who does not have a disability.

    If you are interested please call Jan Sullivan,
    M.Ed. at 301-618-8395. For more information
    and the fee schedule, click here.

    Kennedy Krieger Institute is looking for
    adolescents and adults ages 12-25 years, with
    fragile X syndrome to participate in a research
    study. This study is being conducted by centers
    across the country to help determine whether the
    investigational drug arbaclofen is an effective
    for social withdrawal symptoms associated with
    fragile X syndrome. Click here to download a
    flyer about this study, or contact the Study
