Today on Giving Tuesday, we’re honored to share the voices that matter most, our families. Their stories remind us why the work we do is so important. Every milestone, every breakthrough, every smile is made possible through the partnership between our teachers, therapists, and the incredible families who trust us with their child's growth.

At CCA, our families are more than participants,
they’re our foundation, our collaborators, and our biggest inspiration.

When you give today, you’re not just supporting a program.
You’re supporting real families, real progress, and real moments of hope.

Join us in empowering every child and every family we serve. https://hcfoh.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=7369

We are grateful for our board members! Jacob Stammen shared his why and his impact moment. Take a minute to read why the Cincinnati Center for Autism is so important!
My connection or "why": Originally, I was hired by CCA as a commercial real estate advisor to assist in the procurement of a larger facility to accommodate the growing organization. Within the first few weeks of this project, it was easy to see the dedication of the staff, the impact they made in the community, and the commitment they have to changing the educational trajectory of their students. When I had the opportunity to join CCA's board, it was an easy choice, and I am honored to have the opportunity to contribute to its future success.

One Impact Moment: My one impact moment was supporting the leadership of CCA in relocating their facility to 100 Commercial Drive, which enabled them to expand the programs and services they could provide to the autism community. I'll never forget the moment CCA's new location opened for the first time and hearing the staff and students talk about the positive impact the new location has had on them. This was an unforgettable reminder of why this work matters.
