Getting a diagnosis can feel like a maze.
We walk you through it.
The Diagnosis Pathway pulls in what you’ve already told us about your child and builds a personalized step-by-step guide. From understanding why you’re seeking a diagnosis, to finding the right evaluator, to knowing exactly what to do when results come in.
- 1Why you are seeking a diagnosis
Helps us point you to the right evaluators and talking points. - 2Choose your evaluation type
Telehealth, in-person, or we help you decide. - 3Find an evaluator
A filtered list of providers that match your situation. - 4Schedule your appointment
Track your date so nothing falls through the cracks. - 5Get your results
We walk you through what comes next — either way.
Getting denied is more common than you think.
It is not the final word.
The Medicaid Pathway walks you through how to apply, what to do if you’re denied, and how to access disability-based coverage even if household income disqualifies you. Step by step, based on exactly where you are right now.
- 1Apply for Medicaid for the Whole Family
The starting point for most families — even if you’re unsure whether you’ll qualify. - 2If Approved — Explore Child-Specific Supports
Therapies, equipment, and services your child may now be eligible for. - 3If Denied — Understand Your Options
We walk you through the appeal process and disability-based pathways.
Find your state’s waivers, waitlists, and local DD agency — in minutes.
The Waiver & Community Connector covers all 50 states. Search your state to find your local Developmental Disabilities agency, understand which waivers are available, get the right phone numbers, and learn how to get on the waitlist — because waitlists can be years long and the sooner you start, the better.
You’re not failing.
Let’s figure this out.
Potty training an autistic child is genuinely different. This pathway helps you understand what’s really going on — and what to do about it. It starts with the things nobody tells you.
“I spent months frustrated with my daughter, thinking she was just refusing to cooperate. It turned out she had encopresis — chronic constipation causing overflow that she genuinely couldn’t feel. Nobody told me. I had to find it myself at 11pm after a really bad day. I built this tool so you don’t have to go through that alone.”
— From the founder of Autism Pathways
