What this is, in plain language
Lurie Children's Autism Family Support Program is a resource hub for Chicago-area autism families: free sign-up for caregiver workshops, guidance on requesting and understanding a child's IEP, and a large directory of third-party ABA providers with their own accepted insurance and Medicaid plans.
Getting started
Families sign up online to receive email updates about free caregiver workshops and autism-related groups; the ABA provider directory and community resources are published for families to browse and contact directly.
Written from what the provider publishes, to save you decoding it. It describes the service; it is not our view of how good it is.
What they say about themselves
Taken from the provider's own website. We have not verified the claims — the parent reviews below are the other half of the picture.
- This page invites families to sign up for free Caregiver Workshops and groups related to autism, and frames itself as a resource hub rather than a direct clinical service.
- It publishes a large list of third-party ABA therapy providers across the Chicago area, each with its own accepted insurance and Medicaid plans, wait time and languages spoken; Lurie says these providers are not affiliated with nor endorsed by Lurie Children's.
- It links to community and government resources, including the state's PUNS waiting list for support services and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) information.
- Its broader Resources & Family Support hub gives guidance on requesting and reviewing a child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP), and describes the Children's Waiver Program, which funds therapy and respite care for ages 3-21 who register with PUNS.
