Parent Mentorship
Experienced & Well-qualified Mentors You Can Trust
This program is a fully developed, managed program offering experienced, trained, supported, qualified Mentors to guide parents on the Autism Journey. Our program is unique in the autism community and supports our mission: For families who have just received the autism diagnosis, TACA aims to speed up the cycle time from the autism diagnosis to effective treatments.

Our amazing TACA Mentors have been TACA members for 2+ years and are parents and caregivers – just like you. They volunteer their time and energy because they’ve been where you are right now. Our TACA mentors are eager to guide diagnosed parents on how to gain services, support families looking into starting the GFCFSF diet, help families navigating IEP’s and answer questions regarding various biomedical interventions.
You can expect to have a mentor assigned to you within 2 weeks, and in the case a match takes longer, our Mentor Program Coordinator will invite you for support while you wait.
