Looking to Help TACA and Your Lawn?

Soils Alive will be donating $50 to TACA for each new customer referred by our organization. In 2013 Soils Alive was purchased and is now operated by Brad Young. Brad will be stopping by the June TACA Meeting to provide more information about Soils Alive’s services, tips on organic lawn care and how they are supporting TACA.

Soils Alive combines soil science, innovative organic applications and dedicated customer service to give you a beautiful, healthy lawn & landscape. Their goal is to help you bring balance back to your soil and help you reduce your family’s chemical exposure. Soils Alive was founded in 1997 and has spent the last 17 years perfecting its organic soil treatments.

TACA’S BIGGEST campaign of the year continues through May and we need YOU!

What can you do to help to help more families like yours? Take ACTION by telling your family story. Celebrate your child and give thanks for all that TACA provides by participating in our Family and Friends Campaign! When your family and friends support you and cheer you on, they will be helping TACA reach more families like yours. Click now to join our Chapter team and start today!

How TACA Helps Texas 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.
