Comprehensive Services: Family Support Services
- Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Services refer to a range of support and assistance provided to individuals with developmental disabilities, including autism, such as employment services, assistance providing personal care, respite services, environmental modification, and housing.
- Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) and Head Start help provide free preschool, childcare, meals, and case management for families.
- Women Infants and Children (WIC) is a program for pregnant women, new and breastfeeding moms, and children under 5 that provides free healthy foods for working families, families receiving Medicaid, and foster children.
Parent counseling is another service that can be helpful in addressing any concerns or questions you may have about your child’s diagnosis and treatment options. Family support groups can also provide a valuable resource for parents to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. Other services may include respite care, transportation assistance, crisis care and outreach, and help with navigating insurance and funding options, among many others.
