Organization for Autism Research
Triathlon for a Cause - Research for Autism
Organization for Autism Research: OAR's intent with every dollar raised and spent to pursue knowledge of Autism through research or creating resources is to offer support to self-advocates, parents, siblings, teachers, military families, and more. Ultimately, we do that one study, one resource, one child, one family, one school, one teacher at a time.
Help me HELP THEM fulfill their mission of using science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers. Their mission of “applying” research to answer questions of daily concern to those living with autism defines their goals and program objectives and shapes their budget.
