Neha Sahni

Resource Coordinator

Neha joined TAP in July 2024 as a Resource Coordinator. With a diverse educational background spanning three countries, Neha possesses over 16 years of experience working with children diagnosed with Autism and other developmental disabilities. Neha received a master’s degree in child development from Lady Irwin College, Delhi University, India. Neha continued with her academic journey to Australia where she specialized in Disability Studies at Deakin University. When her family immigrated to Canada in 2012, she pursued a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Mothercraft College to be licensed with the province of Ontario. This multicultural experience has helped her enrich her academic and personal development.

Neha has experience working with children and families in a variety of community settings which include ABA clinics, daycares and non-profit settings. Before moving to the United States, she served as a Resource Consultant providing early childhood education consultation and support to children with developmental disabilities, their families and educators in licensed childcare programs.

With her knowledge and ability to understand what it takes for a family navigating through resources and supports, she is looking forward to serving families through the TAP network across the state of Illinois ensuring they have access to resources that are needed to enhance their well-being and achieve stability.
