Welcome to the Autism Society of Ohio. |
|
|
The Autism
Society of
Ohio is a group of parents and professionals working on
behalf of persons with autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in
the state of Ohio. Board members sit on various statewide committees,
including the Developmental
Disability Council Autism Task Force, The Family Support Committee,
(etc.) to advocate for and represent the interests of persons with
autism and ASD.
The Autism Society of Ohio also acts as an information clearing house
for persons with autism and ASD, their families, and the professionals
who serve them in Ohio and neighboring states. An affiliate of the
Autism Society of America, the ASO makes information and ideas
accessible to interested families and professionals using the following
tools:
- The ASO underwrites the ASO Info Line at
330-376-0211
(phone) and 330-376-1226 (fax).
- Bi-annually, the ASO
hosts a two-day conference on autism
(typically in a central Ohio city) that includes presentations and
workshops relating to education, recreation, new or existing therapies,
social and family issues, and medical updates.
- The ASO links families
into the network of local Autism
Society chapters throughout the state.
With the aid of many volunteers, the ASO hosts this website to
centralize information relating to autism and ASD for persons and
families living within Ohio and neighboring states.
