💙 April is Autism Awareness Month 💙

This month, we’re raising awareness, sharing resources, and supporting families across the 13 counties we serve.

At East Central Health District, our Child Health programs are here to help guide families every step of the way. While we do not provide autism diagnoses, we do connect families to trusted providers and services in the community.

Here’s how we support children and families:

• Babies Can’t Wait (BCW): Early intervention support for children with developmental delays. Children identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are automatically eligible (Category 1).
• CMS & Children 1st: Help families navigate care, services, and resources.
• Community Referrals: We connect families to evaluation providers and share local ABA therapy resources.

If you have concerns about your child’s development, support is available—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
