The Red Oak Family Foundation launches April 4, 2022, during Autism Awareness Month. The Red Oak Family Foundation is located in Columbus, Ohio with a mission to provide support for local families with family members on the autism spectrum with social and educational events, networking and connecting to autism resources.
Many families are challenged to find the best treatments and therapy for their families, and this organization is a way to connect parents to each other to share ideas and create a cohesive network of families to better people with autism and their families. We realize the importance of early intervention and diagnosis, as well as the need for continued support for families as people with autism move into adulthood.
The Red Oak Family Foundation is not a research-based organization or one that offers medical recommendations.
The first event will be a family-friendly launch party for local families with family members on the autism spectrum at the Amelita Barn: 4395 Carriage Hill Lane, Upper Arlington, Ohio, on Sunday, May 15 at 3-5 p.m. This event will include an space-themed magic show, balloon animals, and games. This is an opportunity for families to gather, meet, and socialize in a comfortable environment. Refreshments will be provided. If you are a family with a family member with autism, please contact: astair@redoakfamily.org if you would like an invitation.
Other Red Oak Family Foundation upcoming events will include a private evening at a local trampoline park for families with family members on the autism spectrum, panel discussions with local autism experts, and a sibling event to support siblings of people with autism led by local leaders. There will be other opportunities to attend fundraising events, which will include an outdoor yoga donation class. You can find information on social media on Facebook and Instagram as well as our website: http://www.redoakfamily.org.
