The Team

Working Together to Achieve One Goal

They say it takes a village, and we have found that to be true. TACA’s board members help TACA achieve our mission by lending their time, connections, and skills. The TACA ambassadors represent us in the community and volunteer their time and effort to support our mission and values. The Medical Advisory Board is crucial to TACA as they give their knowledge and resources to write TACA articles, present webinars, and help parents find TACA. Lastly, the TACA staff works daily to bring education and support to families living with autism.
