Overview
Mission
Chicago Autism Network is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families find and afford effective autism therapy and supports. While the Chicagoland area has a wealth of autism service providers, too often families can't access these services due to lack information and lack of funding. We believe autism therapy should be accessible to everyone on the spectrum regardless of income, race, neighborhood or gender.
What it reported doing in 2023
Autism Expo: This resource fair is presented by Chicago Autism Network & The Answer Inc as part of our commitment to help local families connect with life-changing services and supports. This event features parent workshops, exhibitor hall, developmental screeners and more.
