Organization for Autism Research (OAR)
SITE: Organization for Autism Research (OAR)
URL: http://www.researchautism.org
DESCRIPTION: Excellent site from the Organization for Autism Research (OAR). They were formed in 2001 by seven parents and grandparents of children and adults on the autism spectrum, "OAR set out to use applied science to answer questions that parents, families, individuals with autism, teachers and caregivers confront daily. No other autism organization has this singular focus."
The site has very good information on Autism and resources that you can use. Of primary note are three books that can be downloaded in their entirety from the site:
A Parent's Guide to Research (the first book in the Life Journey through Autism Series that provides basic information on Autism, especially useful for the parent first discovering the diagnosis for a loved one).
An Educator’s Guide to Autism (the second book in the Life Journey through Autism series provides parents, teachers and education professionals with a plan for teaching a child with autism in the general elementary classroom setting).
An Educator’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome (the third book in the Life Journey Through Autism series that illustrates ways to work with Asperger Syndrome children within an inclusive classroom setting).
