Journal of Early and Intensive Behavior Intervention, v5 n3 p64-66 2008
Autism Speaks, the world's largest autism non-profit organization, is addressing a struggle to obtain evidence-based treatment on autism. The mission of Autism Speaks is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Part of their focus is to change state insurance laws to require private health insurance policies to cover the diagnosis and treatment of ASDs. In this article, the author provides updates on the ongoing efforts of this advocacy group.
