Access Services

Are you an adult seeking autism services? See our Guide for Adults.

If your child’s screening for autism identifies developmental delays or learning challenges, he or she is entitled to intervention services.

You can start these services before your child receives an autism diagnosis.

• If your child is under the age of 3, you can get services through your state’s Early Intervention program.

• For children ages 3 – 21, you can get services through your school district’s Special Education office.

• Use our Directory to find these services in your area.

Forty-eight states require health insurers to cover autism services.

To learn about your state’s autism-related health coverage, visit our Health Insurance page.
