Elwyn is honored to
welcome John Clark
as our guest speaker
for the evening

Please join us at Philadelphia's historic
Union League for an event to benefit the
Elwyn Fragile X Center

Wednesday, April 14, 2010
5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
The Union League of Philadelphia
140 South Broad Street
Philadelphia, PA 19102
Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served

Proceeds from this event will support the work of the Elwyn Fragile X Center, a multidisciplinary resource for people with fragile X syndrome and the families who love them. Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual disabilities, with effects ranging from mild learning and behavioral impairments to more severe disabilities and autism. Each month, the Elwyn Fragile X Center receives dozens of inquiries from families and professionals seeking information, services, suggestions, and support. Often, the call is from a parent who has just learned of the fragile X diagnosis in her child. Other times, the inquiry is from a teacher or therapist looking for syndrome-specific suggestions on how to address behavioral challenges in the classroom. Whatever the need, Elwyn is there to guide, support, encourage, and empower.
