At the Illinois Center for Autism, we believe every individual is unique and defined by possibilities, not limitations. Every person has the right to access education, training, and services specifically designed to meet their needs — always in the least restrictive environment possible.
For over four decades, ICA has been a trailblazer in challenging perceptions and breaking down barriers about what individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can achieve. We have led the way in:
Inspiring other organizations to expand opportunities for individuals with ASD
Shaping legislation that promotes equal rights and access
Pioneering employment initiatives for individuals with some of the most complex needs
At the core of everything we do are our students, clients, and their families. Every decision and direction we take is guided by their best interests. We remain committed to:
Exploring innovative pathways
Embracing new ideas and technologies
And pursuing our mission with a renewed promise to help those we serve reach their highest level of independence and joy
