                      Families with ASD-Autism Support Group

Mission Statement:
 To form a network of families touched by ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, for support, education, and
                                to promote awareness and understanding.

      Welcome to our Families with Autism Spectrum Disorders Yellow Pages. We hope you enjoyed our Second Annual
Autism Expo, and plan to attend our 3rd Annual Autism Expo on September 27th, 2008! Families with ASD organized the
Autism Expo because we know how hard it can be to find therapist, organizations, service providers that specialize with
working with children and adults on the spectrum. We wanted to offer families one location to acquire as much
information about these local organizations as possible. The Autism Yellow Pages is a collection of addresses, websites,
etc… that Greg and I have collected over the past 10 years when looking for help for our 12 year old son, Luke. We hope
that the following will become a usable resource for your family.

   Families with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Inc. is a 501 ( c) (3) non-profit local public charity. We fully fund Families
with ASD, a family-centered Autism support group that meets monthly on the East side of Cincinnati. Everyone is
welcome to join our group. We have children as young as 2 years old on the spectrum, and as old as 16 years of age.
Adults with autism are also welcome. Our group offers one Saturday a month where you can go and socialize with others
who live with Autism 24/7. This group is also for the siblings, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, anyone touched by Autism.
Joel, our youngest son, now knows he is not alone. He is not the only one that has a brother on the spectrum. Our
meetings are very casual. We also have group outings. We go to the Midway Theater in Bethel, OH. Debbie at the Midway
understands our children’s needs, and opens the theater just for us. She doesn’t turn the lights all the way down, and the
sound system all the way up. Her one theater building is also wheel chair and stroller assessable. Please check out our
website at www.familieswithasd.org and click on pictures and you can see for yourself what our meeting look like.
Everyone is welcome to come. Our meetings are free. All we ask is that you bring a snack to share.

   In February of 2007, our members wanted a way to stay connected in between meetings. We started the Families with
ASD Yahoo group. It is a fun, free on-line support group. You can download files on Autism, go to hundreds of Autism
Links, check out the Calendar with updated Autism Events, share photos of your family or check out the recent ASD
gathering, and post messages. You can connect with other families that live with Autism 24/7 all from the convenience of
your own home. All you have to do is go to our website and click on the Yahoo icon, or go to the following link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FamilieswithASD/ . The best part is it is completely free!!

                                                                             Sincerely,

Autism Scholarship Program
The Autism Scholarship Program allows ODE to pay a scholarship to the parents of a qualified child with autism. Through the
scholarship, parents have a choice of sending their child to a special education program, other than the one operated by their
child's school district, to receive the services outlined in the child's individualized education program (IEP). The Autism
Scholarship Program for 2006-2007 began July 1, 2006, and continues through June 30, 2007. For more information and to
download the guidelines go to the following website.

Founded in 2003, the Cincinnati Center for Autism (CCA) provides a variety of services designed to help children with autism
reach their fullest potential. Our programs address many of the behavioral, social, communication and motor delays common in
children with autism. CCA was founded by Matthew Brennan, a Cincinnati area businessman and the father of a child with autism.
Frustrated by the lack of services available and the desire to provide parents a place to go for information, Mr. Brennan founded
the Center to fill these needs and to assist families in seeking treatments for their children and comfort in their lives.
