Believing in the possibilities, not in the limitations...
Dear Friends,
In 2018 the Illinois Center for Autism celebrated its 41st
year of
service to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their
families. Thanks to the dedication of our staff and the support of
our donors and volunteers 2018 was a banner year. We saw an
increase in demand and delivery of services in all 3 of our programs
– Special Day School Program, Adult Services Program, and Client/
Family Support Program. Fortunately, our supporters helped us
rise to the occasion by setting new records at 2 of our special
events – the Light Up The Night Dinner Auction and the Jim Quirk
Memorial Pedal For Autism.
Here is just one of our many success stories from 2018:
One of ICA’s students was profiled in his local newspaper for
starting his own successful lawn care business. This same
student got a part-job in his community in October and is on
track to graduate with a diploma in December. This success is
the result of hard work put in by this student, his family, and
staff from all 3 of our programs over the last 7 years and the
financial support of our donors that make dreams come true.
Currently, the Centers for Disease Control cites the incidence rate
of autism as 1 in 59 children. With demand for services increasing,
we are continually challenged to expand the services we provide in
to the community. We are grateful for the opportunity to steward
this agency with a legacy of making a lasting and positive impact
on our community. With your support we will continue to make
miracles happen everyday.
Sincerely,
