December 27, 2010AOA Awards: Lisa Ackerman, Person of the YearFrom the Editors: Today we kick off the Age of Autism Awards 2010 on a real high note by honoring Lisa Ackerman and TACA. As we've traveled around the country this year, we've seen first-hand the energy, experience and expertise that the local chapters bring to their mission of offering real help, right now. Entering its second decade, TACA is gaining strength and momentum. Their free handbook for parents is itself a contribution of the first magnitude; everyone who reads it wishes they had it when their child was diagnosed. Here is a nomination that says it all: TACA was formed ten years ago when several local families whose children were affected by Autism met in the Ackerman family living room. Today it has grown to support more than 15,000 families across the U.S., faithfully sticking to their philosophy of providing real help, right now to existing members and the more than 400 families that join their organization each month. There are no membership fees to join TACA and they are able to provide 95% of their services at no cost to families. Lisa's Response - Sincerely, Lisa Ackerman - TACA Founder For the last enewsletter in 2010 - TACA wants to wish you and yours a safe, miracle filled New Year! |
