Services
We are currently looking for volunteers to start support groups in Illinois.
We have so many families in the northwest suburbs, northern suburbs, Chicago, southern suburbs, and southwest suburbs that any support groups should be a success. For further information email us at [email protected]. A meeting place, like a church, library, synagogue, or park (during nice weather) is all that is needed.
Check back here for information for the 2025 Youth Ambassador, Rising Leader, and Junior Youth Ambassador programs.
The TAA offers complimentary in-service presentations throughout the state to all schools on an as needed basis. It can make a tremendous difference in your child’s academic experience to have the school staff educated about the many facets of TS. We also offer presentations for peers.
