Come to a TACA Meeting!

TACA holds monthly meetings in many locations throughout the United States that feature educational speakers on important topics and allow family members to connect with one another and stay on top of the latest information in the autism world.

Each TACA group maintains a resource library of the latest autism books and DVDs/CDs that can be checked out by members at no charge.

	Back by popular demand! Please join us for a coffee talk at our regular meeting time. We’ll have coffee, snacks, and plenty of time and a private space to relax and share stories, answer questions, and chat with others who understand what it’s like to have a child on the autism spectrum. Following announcements, two experienced moms will briefly share their autism journeys. The rest of the time is yours to relax, ask questions, and share your experiences. There will be no pre-meeting Coffee Chat this month, as the meeting is an extended coffee chat!
