TEXAS WAITLIST TO GET ON ASAP https://texasmedicaidwaivers.com/medicaid-waivers/interest-lists/
The importance of Waivers and why you should sign up right away.(Video)
Texas Medicaid waivers are a gateway to getting services for your child. Even if you hope your child will never need those services, it is important that they be added to the interest list for any program(s) that might meet their needs. Your child might have to wait a long time to get services through the waiver. You can always decline the services once your child moves to the top of the list.
Many parents say they wish they had signed up for the waiver interest lists when their child was born or first diagnosed. Some of the interest lists have more than a 15-year wait time.

TESTING FOR AUTISM: Developmental screening can be done by a number of professionals in health care, community, and school settings. It’s important to know the difference of what each type of evaluation will provide you.
A EDUCATIONAL ASSESMENT will determine eligibility of resources that your child qualifies for and can start receiving services as early as 3 years old through the school district. A medical diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) does not automatically entitle a student to special education services.
A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS is based on the patient’s history and behaviors. Various experts can make this diagnosis, including some psychologists, pediatricians and neurologists. While a medical diagnosis can provide some insight and determine medical necessity, schools need to conduct their own evaluations to determine educational eligibility and whether there is a need for special education and related services.
Primary care providers have regular contact with children before they reach school age and are able to provide family-centered, comprehensive, coordinated care, including a more complete medical assessment when a screening indicates a child is at risk for a developmental problem.
UNDERSTANDING THE DIAGNOSIS. WHAT IS AUTISM? Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition involving persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior. While autism is considered a lifelong disorder, the degree of impairment in functioning because of these challenges varies between individuals with autism.
