Review Utah DSPD eligibility

Before you start

  • Official diagnosis, psychological or medical evaluation, IQ and adaptive testing when applicable, onset before age 22, school and developmental history, and evidence of substantial help needed in the listed functional areas.

Who to contact

Use the official DSPD intake or waiting-list worker, transition worker, support coordinator, Utah Medicaid or DWS, provider, crisis, or protective-report route that owns this step.

Use the statewide DSPD application and intake route

Step by step

  1. Identify the exact DSPD disability lane being evaluated.
  2. Organize evidence around diagnosis, onset, and each applicable functional area.
  3. Ask the intake worker to name the exact criterion and evidence still missing.

Expected next

A request for evidence, completed eligibility review, or Notice of Agency Action and Hearing Rights.

Save this proof

Evidence index, evaluations, records, submissions, requests, and notice.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask DSPD for the complete eligibility rationale and use the hearing-rights route in the notice if the decision is adverse.

Limits

Autism may support a related-condition application but does not by itself prove Utah DSPD eligibility, onset, qualifying diagnosis, substantial functional limitations, funding, Medicaid, level of care, enrollment, 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.
