Limits
Autism is a listed qualifying condition only when the current DDP criteria are met; it does not automatically establish Montana eligibility. The current page controls operational claims. Its linked 2013 staff manual and 2013 eligibility forms are not treated as current procedural authority without current-rule or owner confirmation.
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.
