The Autism Place

The Autism Place (TAP) is a network of resources in the local community for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. TAP is funded by grants, donations, the Department of Psychology and Illinois State University. Services are available in a clinic, school, and home settings. The Autism Place is located within the Milestones Early Learning Center facility at 2405 General Electric Road St A, Bloomington, IL 61704. You can also reach TAP at (309) 585-1117.

TAP provides:

A treatment team, comprised of Illinois State psychology faculty, graduate student clinicians, and undergraduate students, addresses the needs of children diagnosed with autism.

There are no charges for services. However, the standard fee for individual treatment is $30 per session, group treatment fee is $10, and the fee for school consultation is $40 per hour. Workshops are $250-$450 per day. Insurance benefits typically do not apply at psychology graduate student training facilities.
