What are some barriers to getting services?

 

​

  • an individual or a family cannot afford them

  • a school may not be able to cover them (or will not cover them)

  • insurance will not cover them

  • there is not enough time in the day to fit in a service

  • there is uncertainty about whether the strategy being used is right for the individual

​​

Which services are available?

​

When considering whether formal services are to be used for either early intervention purposes or for someone already on their journey with a neurdivergence like autism there are choices to be made in terms of what kind of provider is best for the individual. The endgame for services is to help a person gain skills, accommodate general educational needs, provide medical services, help an individual manage any uncomfortable symptoms,  or extinguish anything harmful in extreme situations.
