Welcome to TAP
The Autism Program of Illinois (TAP) Service Network is a collaboration of 5 universities and 9 organizations that together operate 20 centers across the state to provide services to children, families, educators, childcare providers, and medical professionals.
Funding provided in whole or in part by The Autism Program of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Why This Matters
Maintaining TAP funding protects access to critical autism services for families across Illinois and strengthens the statewide systems that support children, providers, and communities.
Potential Impact of a 10% Funding Reduction
A reduction in funding would have real consequences, including:
- Longer diagnostic waitlists for families already facing delays
- Reduced training and consultation for schools and service providers
- Limited navigation and support, especially in rural and underserved communities
- Increased strain on local systems already operating at capacity
Now is the time to act to ensure families continue receiving the support they need.
By completing this campaign, your message helps connect with
legislators and demonstrate the importance of TAP services.
