The mission of ASA-ASO is to provide a unified voice on a statewide and national level for individuals with ASD, their families and service providers through information dissemination, advocacy, support of local organizations, and the influence of public policy to empower persons with ASD to reach their maximum potential and inclusion in the community.

The Autism Society of Greater Cincinnati currently serves over 2000 parents, educators and professionals in the Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana regions.

Bittersweet Inc. is a care and treatment facility for adolescents and adults with autism. We have five main directorates at Bittersweet: Residential; Vocational; Supported Living and Respite; Advocacy and Supported Employment. Our residential program serves 20 persons in three Medicaid Licensed homes on our main campus. The habilitation program at these facilities happens in the morning and in the evening after completing their work. The residential schedules are full of exercise, academic programs and community outings. Habilitation goals of daily
living and skills of adaptive living such as laundry, personal hygiene, meal preparation, and structured social interaction play a large part in the success of our residential program. Our facility has five supported living homes. The participants come to our main campus for day programming and then go back to homes in the community that they share with other participants. Habilitation and skills development continue through all residential programs just as though they were living in our main campus housing. Bittersweet advocates and helps schools through consulting and planning, working with the local courts to advocate on the rights of individuals with autism. We also consult to groups or families to give them assistance on how to best serve persons with autism. We conduct tours to professionals and students to expose them to our model and perhaps to their first experience to someone with autism. Bittersweet offers Respite Services to families

Central Ohio is home to one of more than 200 chapters of the Autism Society of America, a non-profit group of parents and professionals advocating for people with autism. Membership in National ASA is required in order to be a voting member of the Central Ohio Chapter. However, our chapter's meetings and services are available to non-members as well. There are no local membership dues.

The most important benefit of chapter membership is the opportunity to talk with other parents and professionals - to share information and to realize that you are not alone.

Our chapter offers a variety of education, support and advocacy services.

The Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (MR/DD) commited to people with mental retardation and developmental disabilities, their families, the professional staff who support them, their neighbors, their friends, and anyone committed to supporting and advocating for individuals with special needs.

I am an Early Intervention Specialist trained in ABA, Floortime, and other education/assessment tool areas. I have five years of experience working with children who have Autism, PDD, PDD-NOS, and Aspergers. I have worked at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism (2 1/2 years) and was the EI Specialist and Coordiantor for the Ashland Co. Board of MRDD. My resume is available upon request. I am looking to work with families in their homes, community, and classroom depending on the needs of the family.

A website dedicated to bringing about awareness and educating.

An organization created to get kids involved and promote autism awareness, and make a difference. Was created by a 14 year old with aspergers.

I work as a psychologist/coach/trainer in Ohio and I bring hope and power to my clients. I work with schools, non-profit organizations, county agencies, and private businesses ... oh and yes I have private clients as well.

I remain convinced that a reactive problem focused approach to solving life's frustrations is often not effective, be it with an unruly child, an unproductive student, an unwilling employee, an individual with cognitive deficits, or an elderly who is just tired of living with one or more chronic illnesses. My focus on resources, on a preferred future, on what works, has helped many!!

For those who care for an individual with a developmental disability from Prader Willi Syndrome to Autism Spectrum Disorder, my practice is a place for support. We can support the educational needs of a student, the qualifying assessment for state support services, as well as strategies to better manage behavioral and emotional complications including strategies to improve sleep, to manage maladaptive behavior, or to improve interpersonal skills.
