Step by step

- Map each submitted record to the applicable onset, diagnosis, and functional criteria.
- Request a written identification of every missing or disputed element before supplementing the record.
Expected next

Limits
Autism does not automatically establish Kansas developmental-disability eligibility. Diagnosis alone does not prove onset, three substantial functional limitations, functional eligibility, Medicaid, waiver access, or services.
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.
