April was Autism Awareness Month but autism didn’t end in April and neither did TACA support. TACA provides families with education, resources and support all year long. So we are asking families for help IN JUNE by participating in our Family & Friends Campaign to tell your story. It’s a quick and easy way to spread awareness and help support TACA. We have until June 30th to reach our $200,000 goal. Get started: ff.tacanow.org
