Trust & Review Standards

Editorial Policy

Autism Hearts exists to help families, autistic adults, caregivers, educators, and providers find practical autism resources faster. We aim to make every guide and directory page useful, transparent, and easy to verify.

How We Create Guides

Our guides are written for real care-navigation questions: diagnosis, therapy selection, Medicaid coverage, school supports, adult services, waitlists, cost planning, and sensory-friendly access. We prioritize plain language, state-specific context, and direct next steps over generic medical summaries.

How We Review Provider Data

Provider listings may be compiled from public websites, direct submissions, structured datasets, and manual review. A listing can still become outdated, so families should confirm insurance, waitlist status, service availability, licensing, and eligibility directly with the provider before making decisions.

Corrections and Updates

We update pages when provider details, state programs, coverage rules, or care-navigation recommendations materially change. If you find incorrect information, email hello@autismhearts.com with the page URL and the correction source.

Medical and Legal Limits

Autism Hearts is an educational directory and planning resource. We do not provide medical, legal, educational, insurance, or financial advice. For urgent or individualized decisions, consult licensed professionals, your insurer, your school district, or the relevant state agency.

Our SEO Standard

We do not want thin doorway pages. Location and category pages should earn their place in search by adding local context, real provider coverage, helpful planning links, and transparent review notes.
