We are MOVING

Sometime in late May-early June The Autism Program will be moving its facility, which includes the TAP Headquarters as well as TAP’s Central Illinois Center from its present location at 928 S. Spring Street to our new suite at Noll Medical Pavilion, 5220 S. 6th St. Springfield, IL 62703.

Located in the old Doctor’s Hospital Professional Building, this new facility will provide better access and ample parking, as well as increased clinical space for TAP services.

Due to construction, an exact date for the move has not yet been set. If you are scheduling an appointment for this time period please keep in mind the location may change. TAP staff will make every effort to contact families who have appointments scheduled to inform them of any location changes.

The Autism Program of Illinois has developed an infrastructure to train, support, and coordinate the linkage of an informed provider network to help Illinois families.

Public Act 93-0395 created the Autism Program of Illinois and the establishment of three Regional Centers. In FY2006, the Autism Program of Illinois expanded to include two affiliate centers.

In FY2008, The Autism Program of Illinois convened a statewide network of more than 27 agencies and universities devoted to meeting the needs of children with autism and their families forming The Autism Program of Illinois Service Network.

Funding is provided by the Illinois General Assembly through the Illinois Department of Human Services and headquartered at The Hope Institute for Children and Families in Springfield.
