There
was a rally at the Capitol in Austin on May 7, 2001 to support SB 427 which
would keep insurance companies from declining or canceling people that have
an autism/pdd diagnosis. We still need to fight to have our insurance companies
pay for ABA and related intensive therapies
(not just 1 hour a week or month of speech therapy).
Here's a link to an online website with some information about the bill
sponsors, etc.
To
contact your representative: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us
To
see the bill: http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/db2www/tlo/billhist/billhist.d2w/report?LEG=77&SESS=R&CHAMBER
=S&BILLTYPE=B&BILLSUFFIX=00427&SORT=Asc
Thank
you.
WHAT I RECOMMEND YOU DO TO GET ALL THE BENEFITS THERE ARE:
There are other avenues to help your children and that is one of the most important reasons to network with other families. The parents that have lived this life are truly the experts.
