POAC

Dear Friend,

This year will be particularly hard for parents and educators of children with autism. In Oregon, funding has been cut for direct services to children and teacher training is almost non existent. Children who used to get 6 to 8 hours of teaching a week are now down to 2 hours a week, hardly a drop in the bucket. Teachers are often expected to pay for other own trainings now.

POAC of Oregon board has submitted an application to the IRS requesting nonprofit status. We hope to gain an initial nonprofit status within 4-6 months. Stay tuned for the status.
