Our team knows that IEP meetings can bring a lot of questions, which is why we're here to help you prepare. Autism Delaware's Family Navigators help families make sense of the special education system, from understanding services and therapies to accessing state programs like DDDS and Medicaid.

Before a meeting, many families find it useful to write down their child's strengths, the supports already in place, the concerns they want raised, and the questions they want answered. Those questions might include whether the current educational setting is meeting your child's needs, how progress toward goals gets measured, or which supports should be documented in writing.

Call our Family Support team at (302) 224-6020, extension 219 to get a conversation started.

For many autistic individuals, Medicaid provides access to healthcare, behavioral services, respite, and other essential supports. When eligibility rules create barriers to career advancement, people may be forced to weigh professional growth against access to critical services. We can support policies that encourage both independence and opportunity.
