The Team

Working Together to Achieve One Goal

In the spirit of the proverbial village, TACA thrives on collaborative efforts. Our dedicated board members contribute their time, connections, and expertise, playing a pivotal role in advancing TACA's mission. Serving as community advocates, TACA ambassadors generously volunteer their time to champion our mission and values. The indispensable Medical Advisory Board shares valuable knowledge and resources, actively contributing to TACA's articles and guiding parents to our supportive community. Our committed TACA staff diligently works each day to provide education and support to families navigating the challenges of autism. Foundation Partners play a crucial role in sustaining TACA’s essential services and empowering us to expand in order to better address the evolving needs of the families we serve. Together, this collective effort ensures the fulfillment of TACA’s vital mission.
