Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 The Beckett Deeming Waiver is medicaid for families who have insurance (it covers costs not covered by insurance). The problem with the Deeming Waiver is that the practitioner has to accept Medicaid, and many DAN doctors do not accept it. Also, it does not cover supplements, only prescriptions. It may be worth the enormous hassle to get it, though. There were also " autism dollars " available in the past through Medicaid. I do not know who to inquire of about this now, as the agency that used to administer those dollars has lost the contract. It did cover some things that the Deeming Waiver does not. You can also apply for a " regular " Waiver (medicaid), but the waiting list is years. Other than participating in studies, there are no grants that I am aware of. Contact National Autism Association and Autism Research Institute to see of there are any studies going on that you can participate in. Good luck!
