What they do
AT TIEGERMAN, OUR MISSION is to IDENTIFY CHILDREN WITH LANGUAGE and AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS EARLY to PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WHICH WILL PREPARE THEM for A WORLD FILLED WITH WORDS, SENTENCES, STORIES and MESSAGES. LANGUAGE is A SYMBOL SYSTEM; IT PROVIDES THE MEANS to REACH OUT to THE WORLD. IT is THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL THAT A CHILD MUST LEARN EARLY IN LIFE. LANGUAGE PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION for SOCIALIZING, READING, QUESTIONING, WRITING and THINKING. WE USE THE TIEGERMAN LANGUAGE METHOD (TLM) WHICH is DESIGNED to STIMULATE and CHALLENGE CHILDRENS LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT. WE BELIEVE THAT "LANGUAGE is EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE," SO OUR CHILDREN NEED to BE IMMERSED IN LANGUAGE ACTIVITIES to LEARN. WE TEACH CHILDREN to TALK IN ORDER to REACH THE PERSON INSIDE.TIEGERMAN is ALSO COMMITTED to INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS ABOUT THE UNIQUE NEEDS of THESE CHILDREN, SINCE THEY ARE OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED and MISPLACED IN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.

Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
