Freebies
If you have an iPhone (and I believe I've mentioned my love affair with mine before), it might interest you to know that all ABA apps are free for the month of April in honor of autism awareness month. Tell your therapists, or check them out yourself. Since my daughter lives to steal my iPhone anyway, she might as well learn something once she gets it. :)

TACA in the OC Register
Check out TACA's special insert in the Orange County Register. It appeared yesterday, 4/1, in honor of April, which TACA has dubbed Autism Action Month.
I think it's safe to assume we're all aware, as well as our friends, families, and neighbors. This month, TACA is working to translate awareness into action. Sharing this insert is a great way to highlight the actions parents can take to help their children progress.
April also kicks off TACA's three-month Family and Friends campaign. This is TACA's major annual fundraising effort. Lisa Ackerman and the rest of the executive staff at TACA feel strongly that the families TACA serves should spend their money on their children. That's why there's no membership fee to join TACA, and why 95% of TACA's programs are free to families. Once a year, TACA offers its members the opportunity to help TACA help more families through the online Family and Friends campaign. It's run through Firstgiving, which offers a secure place for visitors to your page to donate online. The pages can be personalized, which gives you the opportunity to tell your family's story.
Family and Friends has become my family's major annual fundraising effort. Quite simply, until there's a cure, we need TACA. My family's page took about 10 or 15 minutes to complete. If you'd like to see some examples, check out pages by:
Our thanks to all who support TACA by coming to meetings, participating in our Yahoo discussion group, and generally spreading the word about what we offer. We look forward to continuing to grow our community in Maryland.
