Riley ABA & Autism Center

We are happy to announce that after 46 days of being closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are FINALLY able to re-open our doors to our amazing families today! We cannot describe how overjoyed we were to see all our kids get out of their parent's cars and head straight to our front door with a smile on their face this morning. It was a happy reunion for all involved this morning. Thank you to all of our incredible families and staff for their patience, understanding and continued support during our closure.

As our center sits empty and eerily quiet due to the COVID pandemic on #worldautismawarenessday, it makes me wish even more that we could be spending today with all of our amazing kids that bring joy and hope to the center with them everyday. I know that if we were opened today, our hallways would be filled with giggles, smiles, and lots of high fives. We are proud to support the autism community and can't wait to have our doors open again.

It is with a heavy heart that we will be temporarily closing our doors starting tomorrow, Friday, March 20th through Friday, March 27th, and tentatively reopening on Monday, March 30th. As we gather additional information from the CDC and other health professionals, we will determine whether we will in fact reopen on March 30th. It is of incredible importance that we safeguard the health and safety of our employees, our patients and families during this difficult time. Any questions over the next week can be sent to [email protected].

A BIG thank you to Summit Future Foundation for allowing us to be a part of your discussion with KCUR 89.3 this morning on employment opportunities for youth and young adults with developmental disabilities. We are grateful for our collaboration with your organization!

We are excited to announce that starting next week, our clinic hours will be officially changing to Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm. This change will provide our employees with more time to participate in self care activities and time with their families. We are thankful to our current families for being flexible and supportive through this transition!
