Our staff really is AWESOME SAUCE, and we got to celebrate them recently with a Chick-fil-A Staff Appreciation lunch.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to help make it happen. We couldn’t do what we do without these amazing people who show up and give their all every day or without the generosity of our community! ❤️

After years of hard work, we have another ABA graduate! This week for Day School Awards Day, he was named our Ray of Sunshine — and it couldn't be more fitting! We can't wait to continue this journey with him in our education department. 🎓☀️

We know May can be so busy — that's why some have taken to calling it "Maycember." But this busy month has been one for the books!

We celebrated our beloved therapy dog, Dunkin’s, 5th birthday. We showed up at the Cook Museum for May the Fourth Be With Your Mental Health and at Little Orange Fish's Healthy Minds, Strong Communities fair, reminding our neighbors that support is closer than they think. We partnered with the YMCA to lead a training on what it truly means to show up for a neurodiverse community. And we gathered with fellow nonprofit leaders for Navigate, sharpening the skills that make our organizations and community stronger.

May has been full of the things that make The Riley Center great! Showing up for our community, investing in the people doing the work, and finding joy along the way.

This summer could be the start of something big.

The Riley Center Adult Services program helps autistic young adults ages 16–26 develop the real-world skills they need to live, work, and navigate their community with confidence and independence — through career exploration, vocational readiness, daily autonomy, and more!

We were all smiles last week when Legacy and Love Foundation stopped by with their 'Smiles in a Bag' program for our clients! 💛 It's always special when someone takes the time to show up and make a difference. We're so grateful for their kindness and can't wait to connect again in the future! 😊
