Overview

Mission

Let's Talk About It- The Autism Center (LTAI - TAC) is a non-profit organization focusing on autism advocacy, education, and support. We offer IEP support, advocacy, behavioral interventions, sensory management support, and corporate training to promote the inclusion of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Additionally, we facilitate workshops and support groups as we strive to build a sense of community among our caregivers and their loved ones with ASD.

What it reported doing in 2025

Communities United-Through private and public partnerships, we deliver education and training to individuals, employers, schools, daycare centers, and public-facing professionals to reduce misconceptions related to ASD and equip workshop attendees with the skills required to effectively engage with and/or support individuals with autism.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
