Partners and Resources
AUTISM SOCIETY OF OREGON
The Autism Society of Oregon is Oregon’s leading organization providing resources, education, advocacy, and support for individuals and families living with autism.
WOOTEN WOODS
Wooten Woods is a camp and retreat center in Only, TN (near Nashville). Conceived and owned by 5-time Grammy award winning Musician Victor Wooten and his wife Holly, Wooten Woods was originally constructed to be the home of his Music and Nature camps that have been running since the year 2000, but this nearly 150-acre riverfront property has developed into much more than that.
OREGON YOUTH TRANSITION PROGRAM
The purpose of the YTP is to prepare students with disabilities for employment or career-related postsecondary education or training through the provision of a comprehensive array of pre-employment transition services and supports.
PORTLAND RADIO PROJECT
PRP.fm is smart, friendly, local radio run by passionate Portland radio professionals and incredible volunteers who care about music and community – local radio at its best. It’s a new model for radio: a true, independent and sustainable radio station/stream that serves as a cultural hub, reflecting and reacting to listeners.
PRP BOFFER FEATURE
Call it unique. Call it therapy. Call it weird. Call it fun. Call it a nearly perfect way for someone diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Difference to spend a couple of hours. Jonathan Chase, a 30-year-old Portland Autism Activist, is a Boffer expert. Jonathan makes “weapons.” He facilitates regular group activities for teens with Asperger’s Syndrome.
PRP LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH CARLEY BAER
In a geographic area filled with extraordinary musicians, Carley Baer is strumming her guitar and ukulele on the periphery of the mass PDX recognition edges. If her performance with Jonathan Chase, bass player extraordinaire, at Spinella’s Off-the-Wall in Gresham last weekend is any indication, Carley’s definitely ready to, as the new saying goes, “blow-up.”
