Autism spectrum disorders are complex and often difficult to understand for families and professionals alike. The National Autism Association is here to offer information and support to everyone affected by this rapidly growing disorder.

There are numerous theories on the cause of autism including genetics, environmental exposures, and vaccinations. The National Autism Association will provide the most current research and information available, and will help to fund critical research needed to find the cause.

There are many diverse treatments available in biomedical, educational, therapeutic, and dietary fields. The National Autism Association will provide information on each area of treatment and will offer support and networking to help you find the treatment your family needs.

Many families touched by autism face tragedies of various kinds, and they are often magnified by the disability. With help from the autism community and beyond, the National Autism Association will provide needed assistance to as many families as possible.

The National Autism Association strongly believes that there are effective treatments for autism spectrum disorders as well as a long awaited cure for the millions of families affected. Please join us on our journey of help, hope, and healing.  Together, anything's possible.

ABOUT the ACLU of OHIO

Updated 10.16.07 The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is headquartered at the Max Wohl Civil Liberties Center in midtown Cleveland, supported by a staff of 16, as well as numerous interns, law clerks and volunteers.
The building was purchased and renovated in 2001, and now provides a comfortable home with the flexible space and technology that our staff needs to support our leaders, volunteers and activists across the state.
The ACLU has chapters and working groups throughout Ohio to promote the efforts of the ACLU in their communities.
The ACLU of Ohio is an affiliate of the national ACLU.
Founded in 1920, the ACLU is a non-profit, non-partisan membership organization with affiliates in all 50 states dedicated to defending and expanding the civil liberties of all Americans.
The national ACLU includes more than 500,000 members in all 50 states, making it our country's foremost advocate of individual rights.
The ACLU of Ohio has nearly 30,000 members and supporters statewide.
We are supported by annual dues and contributions from supporters, as well as grants from private foundations. We do not receive any government funding.
Through education, litigation, and lobbying the ACLU seeks to preserve civil liberties for each new generation.
Dealing with such issues as freedom of speech/censorship, due process, the right to privacy, discrimination, separation of church and state, search and seizure, and voting rights, the ACLU works daily in the courts and in communities to defend the individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States.
Because the ACLU has a limited budget and staff, it is impossible to represent every person whose civil liberties have been violated. Instead, the organization tries to select cases which will impact the greatest number of people - those cases which have the potential to break new ground or establish new precedents to strengthen the freedoms all of us enjoy.

Crossroads Behavioral heal Care Organization

http://www.crossroads-lake.org/

Mission & Purpose:

Crossroads is a creative and stimulating children's behavioral health organization that offers an increasingly integrated and comprehensive system of services for children, adolescents, and families.

The healthy development of a child as a "whole" person in the context of one's family, culture, care-givers, and community is the foundation of Crossroads' service philosophy. We strive to empower greater resiliency in children and to build protective community-based structures and relationships; and this principle is woven into all of our prevention, early intervention, and treatment services.

Crossroads' service offerings include: early childhood programs, Early Head Start, school-based interventions, community support and home-based services, a therapeutic alternative school, therapeutic foster and respite care, and child psychiatry. We have collaborative partnerships with the early childhood community, child care centers, schools, Juvenile Court, the Lake County Department of Jobs and Family Services, and other child-serving organizations.

In addition, Crossroads is a customer and performance-focused learning organization that invests in its people and celebrates what we do.
