Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Autism Research & Resources of Oregon (ARRO) will produce and promote a center of excellence in the field of autism research and services in the state of Oregon. The Centers' core value will be nurturing of individuals and families of individuals with autism so that they may contribute as appropriate to society.
Our long range goal for the ARRO Family Holiday y Assistance Project is to raise enough funding to provide this resource to all 36 counties in Oregon.
Our long range goal for the Online Technologies Project goal is to increase the level of information and support especially to rural Oregon families and individuals with autism.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Community building activities and focus groups to discover what is needed, and fund raising activities over time will be required to develop the organizational resources necessary to accomplish such a large goal. Our 3 year project of a small community center gave us first hand experience on the difficulties that we will encounter. We will now start with some community building projects and focus groups with various community advocates to discover the unmet needs of this diverse community.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have family members and professionals in the field of autism on our Board of Directors. We are intimately aware of the complexity and diversity of the resources that need to be available to support our families and individuals with autism. We have 15 years of experience with projects in this area.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have demonstrated that there considerable unmet needs for this community in this geographical area. Our progress has been limited because we are all volunteers, and a project of this magnitude requires the focus and time of paid staff.
