Raising an autistic child can be a significant challenge, but parents do not need to do this on their own. Most states provide benefits for autistic children. The only question is what type of benefits might be provided.
There are a lot of states that provide access to a care coordinator. Because there are a lot of specialists involved in supporting and caring for an autistic child, it is helpful to have a care coordinator who can make sure all of the moving parts work together.
Other benefits include behavioral support and in-home therapy. Behavioral support can help an autistic child better manage his or her emotions, and in-home therapy can take a look at how care is provided in the home, providing parents with advice. There might also be peer support, psychoeducational services, and therapeutic monitoring.
Some autistic children also qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. This is for autistic children with higher support needs. Children who are nonverbal and have “significantly restricted” activities or behaviors will qualify for this financial support.
California has a very large support network for autistic children. For example, parents can take their child to have an applied behavioral analysis. This is important for helping parents understand what type of support needs their child has. Parents can also have access to cognitive behavioral therapy. This short-term therapy helps autistic children focus on how their thoughts shape the outcomes of their actions. Some of the other available benefits include speech therapy, life skills training, and parent or guardian training.
Several supportive services are available to parents and autistic children in New York. For example, they may be eligible for therapeutic services, including occupational therapy and physical therapy. Speech therapy is also available to autistic children in New York. There are also specific subsets of specialty care that might be available to autistic children.
North Carolina has several benefit programs available as well. Autistic children in North Carolina may be eligible for speech, occupational, and physical therapy. There are also programs in place that seek to identify autistic children at a younger age. That way, intervention can be started sooner, making a difference in the prognosis.
If your child has been diagnosed with autism, you need to talk to your primary care doctor about the resources available in your local area. Primary care doctors are generally plugged in with a lot of specialists, so they can give you a list of programs you may want to reach out to. If your primary care doctor referrals your child to a child psychiatrist, he or she might also have a list of resources that can help you and your child get the help you need.
