Funding for Autistic Treatments

I finally heard back from the lady I emailed and apparently the funding for alternative health treatments came from the National Institute of Health.

I emailed them looking for additional info and asking what programs they have open and I am still waiting to hear from them.

I will update when I get more info.

Additional Access to Funding For Autism

At a recent conference I attended on Autism, I met a lady who told me about an organisation that gives grants for natural healing treatments for Autism.

I am currently trying to track her down so that I can get more info on this.

Obviously the amount of money that this organisation hands out for Autism could be limited so it will probably be on a first come first served basis.

Bookmark this page and visit it again and as soon as I get the info I will post it here. The more financial aid that families with Autistic members get, the better.

With the chances of having an Autistic child increasing on a day to day basis, isn't it about time you educated yourself about Autism?

You need to know where to go for help.

You really need this book by Rachel Evans.

Financial Aid for Families With Autistic Children

It is so hard to make ends meet these days without the added financial burden of having an Autistic child.

There is a very good chance that you can apply to Social Security for a disability benefit for your child.

The outcome of their determination depends on the capabilities of your child with Autism as determined by a form that is filled out by the parents or caregiver and a school or special ed services person as well as your income.

Obviously you can't lie on this form but, the worse that your Autistic child appears to be functioning, the better your chances are of receiving some form of financial assistance and Medicaid which is a must have for those families that can't afford health insurance for their children.

You need to think carefully before you fill out these forms. They won't be re evaluated for another 5-10 years so the determination lasts for quite some time.
If on a good day, your child is incontinent only 2 times, but, the good day only comes once a month, then your child is definitely incontinent.

It is not a case of selling your child short and as I stated earlier, you are not to lie on the forms but please be realistic when you are filling them out.

The little extra money that you receive could make the difference between you taking your child with Autism to an alternative therapist for help and the Medicaid could make the difference as to whether or not your child receives the health care that they may need.
