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.
