Autism Services
Autism Services equip providers with the framework to deliver medically necessary, early intensive developmental and behavioral intervention services to MHCP-eligible individuals under age 21 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related conditions. These services are evidence-based, culturally responsive, and focused on skill-building across communication, social interaction, and daily living. Providers must follow MHCP guidelines for documentation, service authorization, and reporting to ensure compliance and continuity of care.
