Navigating Autism Waitlists
If you suspect your child might need a diagnosis to receive extra support and services, it is important to receive proper therapies ASAP. You will soon find yourself stalled by waiting-lists upon waiting-lists.
Getting through the wait list as quickly as possible is your goal!
Tips on obtaining a quick diagnosis:
- Call your insurance provider to obtain a list of locations that provide diagnosis.
- Ask your insurance provider to give you diagnostic centers up to an hour away from your home. Provide them with a remote area (less likely to have a wait list).
- Call all of these diagnostic centers and tell them to place you on the waiting list (if they have one).
- Ask how long the wait list is.
- Intermittently call the diagnostic centers to see if they had any cancellations. This increases your chances of obtaining a quicker appointment.
- “The squeaky wheel gets the grease”
Another method on getting through the wait list:
- Research what type of therapies your child will benefit from once they obtain the diagnosis you suspect.
- Call local agencies that provide those services.
- Ask them if they refer any diagnostic centers with a short wait list- mention you are willing to drive up to an hour or two away (if possible).
