https://dspd.utah.gov/intake-process/ - DSPD is a state program that offers supports like respite, caregiver compensation, Medicaid waiver access, and other long‑term services. Here is a link to their full list of services: https://dspd.utah.gov/services/. I recommend that autistic individuals/their caregiver apply, regardless of age. During the intake, it helps to describe every challenge the person experiences, even the ones that feel small. The waitlist is long, and prioritization is based on both need and available state funding.
