The AO Foundation’s mission is to promote autism awareness, understanding, and inclusion by educating and equipping individuals, organizations, and communities to better support those on the autism spectrum.

We envision communities where individuals on the autism spectrum are understood, respected, and supported through informed education, inclusive practices, and meaningful opportunities for connection and growth.

The AO Foundation focuses on education, awareness, and training that strengthens the systems surrounding individuals on the autism spectrum. Rather than providing direct therapeutic services at this time, we work to ensure that the people, environments, and organizations interacting with autistic individuals are prepared, informed, and inclusive.

The AO Foundation provides autism education and training designed for educators, caregivers, students, and organizations. Our programs focus on building practical understanding, confidence, and real-world strategies for supporting individuals on the autism spectrum across schools and community settings. Training is accessible, experience-informed, and centered on creating more inclusive and supportive environments.
