Now the fastest growing developmental disability, autism affects 1 out of 110 children born today!

The Northern Illinois Center for Autism (NICA) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization.  NICA has risen to the challenge of serving the autism population in our community. We provide recreation, resources, services, support and education to hundreds of families who live with and /or care for a loved one on the autism spectrum.  Without the generosity of those in our community, this would not be possible.


Your generous contribution will allow us to continue the necessary support at our center, expand our programs and keep up with the ever challenging growth and demand of the autism population in our area. 
   Contributions to NICA are tax deductible.
