Illinois autism bill would mandate insurance coverage of

$36,000 a year

Insurance companies would be required to cover autism diagnosis

and treatment up to $36,000 a year under legislation sent to the governor

Thursday. The action marks a victory for advocates who say early intervention

and therapy is key to helping children with autism gain communication and

social skills
