Autism Support Program
We are proud to help families afford autism-related services not covered by insurance.
Program Details
The Autism Support Program is available for individuals age 21 and under who live in our service area of Posey, Gibson, Warrick, Spencer, Pike, Knox, and Vanderburgh counties in Indiana.
This program is not based solely on financial need. We encourage anyone who struggles to pay for autism services for their child to submit an application. Applications are open in February of every year, and our Board of Directors make their decisions in March. Families then have one year to use the funds. However, we know waitlists in the tri-state can be lengthy, and we will work directly with the service provider and with the family if the time period of one year to use the funds needs to be extended.
We want to thank the following service providers for working with us on this program which provides financial relief for families.
