Happy New Year and Thanks!

OAR's 10th birthday was nearly a month ago and a record nearing $75,000 in end-of-year donations punctuated OAR's first decade of service to the autism community with a huge exclamation point. So many people have played roles in OAR's success. To each, whether parent, researcher, donor, runner, or friend, thank you. Now, on to the next 10 years!

Amidst the many year-end appeals to support hope, OAR invites you to support its actions. Look for a kid's peer education tool, parent's special education guide, a teacher's educational DVD, more scholarships, and continuing research in 2012. To donate, click here. Thanks and Happy New Year!
