Questions from Somerset County
Who do I call if I’m worried about my child’s development in Somerset County?
For children under 3, call the Infants & Toddlers Program at 410-651-1616 x11253 or refer online at referral.mditp.org. For ages 3 and up, call Somerset County Public Schools Child Find at 410-623-2037 x10253. Both are free.
Our child qualified for school services. Do we still need a diagnosis?
Sometimes. School eligibility and a medical diagnosis are separate decisions. Certain coverage, TRICARE’s autism program among them, asks for a diagnosis from a clinical evaluation. Blue Sails offers autism evaluations if you need one.
