Utah Autism Waiver

The Utah Autism Waiver pilot program will be accepting new applications from June 17th to July 12th.

This program assists children ages, 2 through 6, who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

For more information, please contact the Utah Department of Health at 801 538-6357 or visit their website at http://health.utah.gov/autismwaiver

On their website you will find the following information:

  • Documents/criteria needed to qualify (only the income/assets of the child are considered)
  • Services offered in the program
  • Signing up for automatic email updates through the listserv
There will be 35 slots open.  If more than 35 people apply there will be a random drawing based upon geographical area to determine who will be involved.  The Department of Health will be contacting those selected the week of August 5th.  Acceptance is not on a first come, first serve basis, so all applications will be considered.

Children currently eligible for Medicaid do not automatically qualify and will need to apply for the waiver.  Children currently involved in the Medicaid Waiver Pilot Program do not need to reapply.
