Hello and thank you for visiting us at the Central Illinois Autism Association! Whether you have joined us as an individual with autism, caregiver, professional, friend, or community member just wanting to know more we welcome you to the community! Here at CIAA our main goal is support those with autism within our community regardless of where they fall on the spectrum. Our aim is to help make each individual as independent and successful as they can be along with supporting their employers, family members, and friends. Throughout the year we hold various fundraisers that we turn into mini grants for the community. We offer these grants to families, teachers, therapists, or anyone else who is supporting an individual with autism. Grants can be used for communication devices, sensory needs, adaptation materials, and more. Advocacy is also important to us!...
