Review for Organization for Autism Research, Arlington, VA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteered with OAR as a Hire Autism Navigator. The team at OAR is professional, has tremendous expertise, and provided training and tools to allow me to use my knowledge and skills in human resources and higher education to help job seekers gain experience with writing resumes, cover letters and interviewing. OAR's volunteer screening process was thorough and also friendly, and the Navigator training process in which I took part was well designed and research-based. The OAR team stayed in touch with me consistently throughout my interactions with job seekers to make sure I was providing the kind of support that best suited and benefited job seekers. I increased my knowledge of autism and how I can be of service to actually autistic people. The job seekers I worked with were awesome, talented, and driven. Because the OAR Hire Autism Navigator process is so well thought out, job seekers were able to easily share with me how I could best help them. I would highly recommend OAR to autistic individuals and their families searching for resources related to autism.
