Government & Financial Assistance Resources
Navigating benefits and financial aid can feel overwhelming — but help is available. Here, families can find programs that offer financial support for therapy, medical care, and education services.
Social Security Administration (SSI for Children with Disabilities)
Provides monthly financial assistance to families of children with disabilities who meet income and medical criteria. SSI can help cover basic needs, therapy costs, and long-term care.
Medicaid & State Waiver Programs
Medicaid offers insurance coverage and waiver programs for children with developmental disabilities. Waivers can fund ABA therapy, respite care, in-home support, and adaptive equipment.
ABLE National Resource Center
ABLE Accounts allow families to save money for disability-related expenses without affecting SSI or Medicaid eligibility. Funds can be used for therapy, education, housing, and more.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
IDEA ensures children with disabilities have access to free and appropriate public education (FAPE). Learn about your child's educational rights, IEP requirements, and school-based services.
