Nonprofit Profile: Families With ASD


Families With ASD is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit located in Milford, Ohio. They started out simply as a meeting of parents of children who have autism. They are now a top local nonprofit serving over 500 families in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. All of Families With ASD services are FREE, and include the following: Autism and ALL Special Needs Expo, Autism Yellow Pages, and many FREE events throughout the year. This nonprofit has no paid staff and doesn't accept any government funding.

The Autism and ALL Special Needs Expo is offered yearly, and it gives local parents, family members, first responders, teachers and many others a chance to come learn more about autism and other disabilities and how best to get support and education. Average annual attendance at this event is more than 5,000.

The Autism Yellow Pages is a trusted local resource that lists doctors, therapists, service providers and other local organization who offer services to those on the autism spectrum and other disabilities. It has a wide variety of listings, both local and national.

Upcoming FREE services offered by Families With ASD include Bingo and Taco Night, Special Needs Skate Night, Autism & ALL Special Needs Expo, and an outing to the Drake Planetarium.

Families With ASD closed their Autism Resource Center on December 31, 2014 in order to allow for funds to be put toward the Luke Gregory Center. The Luke Gregory Center is a goal of Julia and Greg Smith, the parents of four children, including the namesake of the center, Luke Gregory Smith. A GoFundMe page has been set up to allow for donations to make the Luke Gregory Center a reality in the near future. Please consider making a donation: www.gofundme.com/LukeGregoryCenter.
