People in Wyoming with Sensory Processing Disorder may qualify for federal disability programs like SSI and SSDI if their condition prevents full-time work for at least a year. Wyoming does not have a state disability program, but Medicaid and work incentives are available. The application process is federal and requires medical proof.

Both programs require strong medical proof of your disability[1][7].
