Step by step

- Map each record to intellectual functioning, adaptive functioning, developmental onset, and current need.
- Submit records with a dated index and request written confirmation of completeness or a criterion-specific missing-item list.

Limits
Autism does not automatically establish Alabama DD waiver eligibility. The verified public pathway is intellectual-disability-led; diagnosis alone does not prove the requested intellectual, adaptive, onset, financial, waiver, or service conditions.
Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
