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 tapes that can be checked out by members at no charge.

Dads and Autism Michael is the proud parent of Vico 11 (ASD) and Culzean 8 (NT). Michael and his wife, Moira, have been involved with TACA since its inception. Michael is the creator of the TeamVico CD series. The first TeamVico CD has been incorporated into school curriculums & is being used by Speech Pathologists nationwide. Vico has made great progress. He went from a non-verbal, completely isolated three year old to an affectionate, verbal eleven year old with a wicked sense of humor. Vico's greatest areas of need still remain in speech and academics. |
