The Problem

Low-income families with children on the autism spectrum often face significant challenges in accessing adequate services and support. These families have two options: Therapy through Medicaid, or, childcare services covered by government subsidy such as CCMS.

Medicaid billing and credentialing delays have significant implications for both healthcare providers and clients, including those seeking services related to autism making this option inaccessible to many families.

Financial Strain

on Providers

When there are delays in billing and credentialing through Medicaid, providers become financially strained and struggle to provide the support the child needs, or end up overworking their staff. This has an even more significant impact on smaller practices, leading in discontinuance of or limited service.

The other option is childcare. The lack of funding for childcare exacerbates the challenges faced by children with autism and their families. Without adequate funding low income families struggle to afford childcare.

Inadequate Accommodations

Without funding for modifications and accommodations, childcare centers may struggle to create environments that are conducive to the needs of children with autism, leading to exclusion and rejection. Even schools with free after-school care programs struggle to support environments suitable for a child with autism.

Addressing the lack of funding and adequate accommodations for children with autism is crucial to ensuring that all children, regardless of their abilities, have access to high-quality care and support. Help us provide solutions for the families in our community.
