Show Me Romey Foundation
Empowering autistic children and their families to know they are enough!
Mission
Show Me Romey Foundation is dedicated to providing education, support, and resources to autistic children and their families. Our mission is to ignite acceptance in our community and empower autistic children and their families to know that they are enough.
What We Do
The Show Me Romey Foundation is dedicated to supporting children on the spectrum and their families in rural communities. We provide free sensory bags to families, helping children access tools that comfort, regulate, and empower them in everyday settings.
Our free Parent Connection Meetings create a safe space for caregivers to learn, share, and support one another.
Each year, our Autism Walk brings communities together to promote understanding and acceptance-because people cannot embrace what they do not understand.
We also host a free sensory-safe Easter egg hunt, designed to ensure that every child can participate in a fun, inclusive holiday experience.
To stay informed about our work and upcoming programs, be sure to follow us on Facebook, where we share updates on additional events planned throughout the year!
Our Story
Hi, I'm Casey Cox--mom of three and founder of the Show Me Romey Foundation. My journey into the autism world began when my middle daughter Romey, was diagnosed at the age of 4. At first, I went through a grieving process. I had no idea what autism really meant or what the future might bring--and to be honest, I was terrified. But in that season of uncertainty, I chose to learn, research, and find the best ways to help Romey thrive.
Along the way, I saw that my journey with Romey could help more than just our family. I wanted to create resources and support for others in similar situations. That's when SMR came to life.
I'm not a doctor, a specialist, or a professional. I'm simply a mom on a mission: to build a stronger, more supportive community for families with autism.
Education sparks awareness. Awareness builds acceptance!
Looking Ahead
We are working toward our biggest goal: establishing a sensory-safe autism center that will offer much-needed resources, therapies, and community support for rural children and their families! The center will be located in Urbana, MO!
