Thank You for an Amazing Journey!
The Chicago Autism Project board of directors has performed a strategic review, taking into account all factors, resources, costs, capabilities, and more in assessing how we can best support families and children.
We realized that the best way we can support the community is by linking with, resourcing, and referring to already existing autism support services rather than duplicating existing support systems. Going forward, CAP will pivot to this new model.
We are incredibly proud of the impact we've made together thus far. Since our inception, we have:
- Provided hundreds of families with access to life-changing therapy services
- Engaged dozens of volunteers
- Provided thousands of hours of therapy through grants and scholarships
- Partnered with several local organizations to expand our reach and support network
- Reached thousands of people through our online resources and social media platforms
- Raised hundreds of thousands in support of under-resourced families
We are grateful for your support and the difference you've helped us make in the autism community.
Below is a list of the organizations we believe in and will continue to support, collaborate with, and share resources. Our mission will live on through their work.
