EmPath For Autism

Safety remains one of the greatest concerns for many autism families.

We’re encouraged to see the Joshua Alert bill pass the Ohio Senate, bringing our state one step closer to a dedicated alert system for missing children with autism and developmental disabilities.

When a child is missing, every minute matters. This legislation has the potential to save lives, support families, and strengthen communities across Ohio.

💙 Thank you The Joshua Al-lateef Jr. Foundation and to the advocates, families, and lawmakers who helped make this important step forward possible.
