Welcome to the Archives!

Autism Research and Resources of Oregon was formally founded in May of 2000. Over the years a great deal of information has come our way, and we’d like to make sure you have access to it, even as our web site changes.

After all, ARRO is here to provide the Autism Community with access to information useful to the community, especially here in Oregon. There’s a lot out there, and we may not know about it all, so please feel free to let us know if there’s something missing from this list.

Happy browsing!

Time :

1pm – 5:30 pm

Location :

ARROAutism Westside Family and Community Center

Details

Michelle Smith is a professional photographer who has volunteered her time to ARROAutism in a variety of ways, including taking and developing the photos for our Sean’s Run Apparel collection, development of our Sean’s Run from Autism 2012 Posters, and photos of the goings on at Sean’s Run 2012.

Now we’d like to say thanks to her, and help you access her expertise, by giving you an opportunity to schedule an individual or family photo shoot in the familiar environment of the ARROAutism Westside Family and Community Center.

We hope this will be more affordable, and accessible, than a private photo shoot in your home, and without the stress of someone coming into the house and changing the environment there, or of going to a new and strange place.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a time to get photos taken, we hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity on May 19th.

To schedule your time for a photo shoot, please visit the site Michelle Smith has created for this special event : http://michelle.bookmonline.com/schedules/ARRO

More than $6500 raised for Autism Programs at Sean's Run 2012

Sean’s Run from Autism is the single most important fundraising event for the Autism Research and Resources of Oregon to be able to continue it mission of providing resources to the Autism Community. Those resources are many, and include the ARROAutism Westside Family and Community Center in Beaverton, our annual Holiday Assistance Program, various lectures, lectures, family socials, classes, movie showings, and other resources. Thanks to everyone who participated in Seans Run from Autism, we have made a decent start on our 2012 fundraising, with more than $6500 raised for those programs and services. And we couldn’t have done it without you.
