Great Lakes Center for Autism is MOVING!

We are in the process of moving to our new location located at 2040 West Central Ave. in the old ProMedica Children's Development Center! 

As part of their commitment to the community and the autism collaborative, ProMedica has donated the use of this building to The GLCA, the Toledo Children's Hospital Early Intervention Program, The Self Reliance After School Program, and other community programs that support families affected by autism. 

We will officially be moved in September so stop back for updates on our new location as well as all of the new programs happening in our community!

Thank You!

Thank you to sponsors, volunteers, and to each person who donated to Give Autism the Boot 2010!  Thanks to your generosity, over $100,000 was raised to support LOCAL organizations and programs who serve families affected by autism. 
Grant allocations will be decided in September so check back to see how YOU helped make a direct impact on our local community!
