| It is our purpose and mission to encourage, empower, equip and educate families of Asperger's and their communities and to do so is no small task, therefore we encourage our GAO members to maintain an annual GOLD LEVEL membership of $20 |
Georgia Asperger's Organization is a parent led organization providing resources, referrals, and support to families of Aspergers and HFA. President and Founder, Marcia Singson, has more than fifteen years of experience in advocating for the special needs of ASD, AS, ADD, ADHD, NLD, and DD within the scope of public school systems, family support and the work place. We also coordinate and host workshops, guest speaker meetings, and support groups to teach Asperger's Awareness and support, social and parenting skills, and self advocacy support. Helpful resources are listed on this page to assist in coordinating the special needs of families of ASD, ADD, and several others. |
