Our Mission
Founded in 1999, POAC's mission is to improve the lives of children
and adults with autism by providing scientifically-based training
to parents, teachers, and other direct service providers. POAC
supports ongoing quality research on the causes of autism, its
symptoms, prevention and a potential cure.
How Will POAC Accomplish Its Mission?
POAC will utilize experts in the field to train teachers in the
principles of applied behavioral analysis, direct instruction,
and other teaching procedures based on research that have proven
to be effective for teaching children with autism.
