Building momentum for ARO at autism walk

Sunday, 20 June 2010 22:07

Parent members of Autism Resolution Ontario connected directly with ASD families and spread the word about its advocacy movement at the 2010 Autism Speaks walk in Ontario. Several families visited ARO’s information table to learn more about its initiative to achieve timely, sufficient, high-quality and individualized publicly funded ABA therapy for kids with autism in Ontario, and to find out how to get involved. As well, practising and aspiring ABA providers, educators and other professionals who work with ASD kids expressed their support of ARO’s efforts and their interest in joining in. A big thank you goes out to Kiri and Bariah for their help in making ARO’s presence at the walk a success.
