Kansas has something most states do not: a Home and Community Based Services waiver specifically for autism, run through the Department for Aging and Disability Services. It is separate from the school system, nobody at school will tell you about it, and it is the single most valuable thing on this page for many Topeka families. What Kansas does not have is a disability-based private school scholarship - so plan accordingly.
