About TACA
Talk About Curing Autism (TACA) is a national non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to educating, empowering and supporting families affected by autism. For families who have just received the autism diagnosis, TACA aims to speed up the cycle time from the autism diagnosis to effective treatments. TACA helps to strengthen the autism community by connecting families and the professionals who can help them, allowing them to share stories and information to help improve the quality of life for people with autism.

The information comes from a variety of sources and is not independently verified by TACA. Nothing presented in print or at meetings should be construed as medical or legal advice.

SNL Learning is an organization that provides private, in-home tutoring by teaching learning strategies through reading comprehension. We primarily serve children with learning difficulties, especially those on the Autism Spectrum. We understand that the act of reading is not the same as comprehension, and in many cases, a child’s performance may suffer in multiple school subjects if they do not fully comprehend what they are reading. Our curriculum is designed to teach students how to organize information in order to help them recognize the patterns that go into comprehension and ultimately, help them think more independently. Our Learning Specialists build relationships with children and their families to understand their desired areas of focus and provide dynamic, creative, and enjoyable learning. www.snllearning.com
Enzymedica is dedicated to providing exceptional enzyme-focused supplements at the most therapeutic levels available in the natural foods industry and beyond.

How TACA Helps Inland Empire Families
TACA does not charge admission to the meetings, nor does it assess annual membership fees for families it supports. Meetings feature:
- Free TACA Autism Journey Guides (over 750 pages of collective knowledge gathered from experienced paraprofessionals and parents) are offered to all parents who are attending their first Chapter meeting.
- Speakers on topics ranging from traditional therapies, integrated medical treatments, education, and legal support.
- TACA's Parent Mentors - one-on-one access to experienced families who have successfully navigated the challenges of finding appropriate treatments and educational opportunities for their children, and who receive additional education from TACA's Foundation Office.
