How to Know If You or a Loved One Qualifies for Developmentally Disabled or Autism Services
Concerned about a possible undiagnosed disability or condition for yourself or a loved one? Figuring out the underlying issue can be challenging. Developmental disabilities affect physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. In the U.S., about one in six children shows at least one developmental delay. Autism spectrum disorder involves a range of traits that individuals may exhibit to varying degrees of severity, including:
- Social difficulties (e.g., not picking up on social cues, intense anxiety in groups)
- Compulsive or repetitive behaviors (e.g. heading nodding, hand flapping)
- Communication differences (e.g., speech delay, non-vocal, bluntness)
- Sensitivities to certain stimuli causing intense reactions
- Poor eye contact
- Lack of understanding of others’ emotions or meanings behind words
Along with a professional diagnosis from a qualified doctor, states will vary in the definition of a “substantial disability” that’s eligible for services.
In Tenessee, developmental disabilities fall under three definitions:
- A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities
- A record of a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity;
- Being regarded as having such an impairment means the individual has been subjected to an action prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because of an actual or perceived impairment that is neither minor nor transitory (will last fewer than six months).
