Who is Eligible
Children will need to have a current diagnostic assessment completed to determine medical necessity and active medical insurance (State Medicaid Programs qualify). Anyone can refer a child; however, parent/guardian will need to schedule appointment for initial assessment and depending on the age, parent may need to be involved in assessment and okay referral. This is a State Medicaid Service.
