Living with Autism: Parenting, Therapy Options, and Getting Services Covered
Most of raising an autistic child happens outside therapy hours: at the kitchen table, in the school office, on the phone with an insurer. These guides cover the practical side of family life with autism, from daily routines and advocacy to weighing therapy options and understanding what insurance and Medicaid actually pay for. Written by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts and reviewed for accuracy.
The day-to-day work of raising an autistic child rarely comes with instructions. These guides cover the parts families ask about most: building routines that hold up on hard days, preparing for school meetings, explaining autism to siblings and grandparents, and finding time to look after yourself too. You will also find articles on advocacy, from asking the right questions at an IEP meeting to knowing which supports your child is entitled to.
Families hear about a lot of treatments, and the claims behind them range from well studied to wishful. These articles look at what the research actually shows for approaches outside ABA, including speech and occupational therapy, play-based methods, diets, supplements, and newer ideas that come up in parent groups. The goal is a clear picture of the evidence so you can ask your child's doctor better questions.
