AAOP’s goal is to raise awareness about autism in the Armenian-American community in Greater Los Angeles and assist Armenian families in communities throughout California and the US. This would be done by informing parents, teachers, and administrators about what autism is & how it is diagnosed, best practices in autism education & treatment, and facilitating the sharing of resources between our families.
We also strive to educate the community at large about autism and encourage the involvement of all individuals within our community gatherings and events.
AAOP’s activities include school outreach, teacher seminars, parent informational meetings, newspaper articles, parent & sibling support groups, family social events, a network of families, and a warm line where we are able to respond to individual needs of our newly diagnosed and current families.
