WhY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
FASD affects an estimated 1 in 20 people, yet Illinois has:
- Minimal diagnostic resources
- Few professionals trained in FASD-specific intervention
- No dedicated state funding for FASD services
- Families waiting years for answers and effective support
The Center for Neurobehavioral Guidance bridges this gap by providing:
- Discounted monthly support groups for caregivers
- Affordable professional training (often at reduced rates for community providers)
- Clinical consultation to improve care quality statewide
- Advocacy for expanded FASD awareness and services
We rely on donations to keep our services accessible and sustainable.
How your donations help:
Your contribution directly supports our work to expand access to specialized care and education for families and professionals serving individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Donations help us provide:
- Discounted monthly support groups for caregivers navigating complex diagnoses
- Professional training and consultation for mental health providers and educators
- Resources and materials for families and providers
- Technology access and meeting space to reduce participation barriers
Every bit helps!
Every donation—whether $10 or $1,000—helps us reach more families and train more professionals to provide neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed care.
Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
The Center for Neurobehavioral Guidance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
