Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Voucher

Human Services is now accepting applications for its Autism Spectrum Disorder Voucher program for the upcoming state fiscal year that begins July 1, 2021.

Families of children ages three to 17 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder are encouraged to apply.

Vouchers help pay for respite care for family caregivers, assistive technology such as sensory or safety equipment, caregiver training and other support services such as tutoring.

To qualify, household income for a family cannot exceed 200 percent of the federal poverty level, which is currently $4,417 a month for a family of four. Children who are receiving services through a Medicaid waiver do not qualify for the autism spectrum disorder voucher.
