TACT — Teaching the Autism Community Trades — is a Denver-area nonprofit that aims to empower individuals with autism through education and employment in skilled trades. The program uses a strengths-based approach to provide training and opportunities aligned with each student’s abilities, with the goal of creating employable skills and long-term careers for a group that faces a high unemployment rate. In this way, the organization seeks to expand pathways for meaningful, lasting work for people on the autism spectrum. Based in Englewood, Colorado, and operating within the broader individual and family services sector, TACT serves the autism community in the Denver region and presents itself as a small nonprofit focused on valuing neurodiversity. A September 2023 local news item noted Buildwithtact’s involvement in a community activity that included law enforcement, illustrating the program’s public-facing engagements.
