Scholarships for Autism Care & ABA
Below are some of the organizations that provide scholarships for Autism Care & ABA therapy. This is not an exhaustive list.
National Autism Association
The National Autism Association is a non-profit organization that aims to respond to the immediate requirements of the autism community. It seeks to help individuals affected by autism so that they can develop their potential to the highest level. The association also works to create awareness about autism and its treatment options.
UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation
The UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization, helps families who face financial challenges by covering the treatment expenses of children with autism. To apply, the child must be 16 or younger and have a commercial health plan, through an employer or bought individually, as their primary insurance; Medicaid or CHIP is accepted only as secondary cover, and there are family income limits. Grants help pay for medical services, including therapies, that the plan does not fully cover. Check uhccf.org for the current rules before you apply. The foundation also works with healthcare providers to ensure that children with autism receive comprehensive care.
ACT Today!
Autism Care and Treatment (ACT) Today! is a national nonprofit organization that aims to spread awareness about autism treatments and provide help to those who need it most. It provides funds to families who require financial aid for their children's treatment. This organization not only assists children with autism in accessing the required treatment therapies but also supports them in reaching their full potential. Founded by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, ACT Today! has a separate campaign called ACT Today! for Military Families (ATMF) that focuses on supporting military children with autism. ACT Today! actively promotes awareness about successful autism treatments through various channels such as blogs, television, and news articles. It also works with research institutions to advance knowledge in the field of autism treatment.
