Hello everyone!

The August edition of the Association for Science in Autism Treatment’s newsletter is here:

https://mailchi.mp/asatonline/science-in-autism-treatment_2019_08?e=7372f0955b

This month’s edition has an interview with Dr. Suzanne Buchanan of Autism New Jersey where she shares the following information: “In the public policy domain, we provided the Department of Banking and Insurance with the clinical substantiation for the medical necessity of applied behavior analysis (ABA) for adults with autism. As a result, in 2014, New Jersey was one of the first states to remove the age cap of 21 on the insurance mandate, allowing adults with autism with fully insured plans to have insurance coverage for ABA during their adult years. A year or so later, we expanded our reach to publicly funded insurance as we established an ABA Advisory Committee for a state agency that oversees ABA services for children with developmental disabilities under a Medicaid waiver.”

Canada has zero autism treatment covered under Medicare.  In Canada, we need Medicare for Autism Now.

The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) is a small, non-profit, organization with a single part time position and a 100% volunteer Board.  Dr. Sabrina Freeman, founder of FEATBC, is a Board Member.

Dear Friends,

Connor Auton has developed intense SIB due to problems in residential care. Given his age, the expertise available here is woefully inadequate. His family needs help funding behaviour treatment by truly qualified professionals from overseas.

Our newer members may be unaware it was the Auton court battle that resulted in the annual autism funding for BC families. Most of us are spending extra and have no money to spare, but a few dollars would serve as a token of appreciation.

Thank you.

Functional Skills for Adult Living

 

As young people transition into adult life there remains an opportunity to teach functional and relevant skills in the areas of communication, leisure management, independence, and participation in work and community settings.

The focus of adult living becomes how we spend our time together in meaningful ways, and the outcome for adults with disabilities can be greatly enhanced with focused and meaningful learning in these key areas.
