About
They have engaged dozens of volunteers and provided thousands of hours of therapy through grants and scholarships. The organization has also partnered with several local organizations to expand its reach and support network. However, after a strategic review, the Chicago Autism Project has decided to pivot to a new model, focusing on linking with, resourcing, and referring to existing autism support services rather than duplicating existing support systems. They are proud of the impact they have made together thus far and recommend families seeking ongoing support to consider reaching out to organizations such as CST Academy, The Goldman Center of Chicago, The Autism Society, The Arc, RCADD at UIC, Easterseals Chicago, Have Dreams, and AARTS Center at Rush, which offer a range of therapy and support services for children with autism and their families.
