ABOUT OAR
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) is the only autism charity that focuses solely on applied research. Funds raised directly support research and programs that help parents, families, and educators in the autism community on a daily basis. We’re dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by autism by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results.
WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. By joining the RUN FOR AUTISM - Houston Team, you're supporting OAR's mission to fund research and resources that help people with autism and their families today.
Here are some of the ways that OAR uses the funds raised by the RUN FOR AUTISM team:
$10 - provides a Curriculum in a Box professional development sent to general education teachers. $100 - provides the Kit for Kids peer education resources to an entire elementary or middle school.
