What's actually in it
Every state, graded honestly
Not a directory dump. Each state gets a letter grade on how hard it actually is to get help where you live, scored on published data, with the reasoning shown. Three states earned an A. One earned an F. Most are somewhere in the middle, and your section tells you exactly where the walls are before you walk into them.
More than 1,100 resources, each one verified
The agency that runs your waiver. Your state's parent training center. Your protection and advocacy office. Early intervention. The actual phone numbers, the actual links, checked.
The programs, finally explained
ABLE accounts. Katie Beckett. EPSDT. Waivers. PTI. Every guide names these things and none of them tell you what they are. There is a whole section at the front of this one that does, in plain English, before you hit a single state page.
From Bianca
I am Cruz's mom. He is autistic, and he is eleven.
I did not write this because I am an expert. I wrote it because I spent years finding out the hard way that the help exists, but nobody hands you a map, and the map changes depending on which state line you happen to live on. I found out about our waiver waiting list two years later than I should have. Two years is not a paperwork mistake. Two years is a chunk of my son's childhood.
So this is the thing I wish somebody had handed me. All fifty states, graded honestly, even the ones that look bad. Especially the ones that look bad.
It is free. There is nothing to buy at the end of it.
