We need providers and professionals in the field to help educate PA's state reps on the need for private insurance coverage for ABA services. Such coverage would help (1) meet the needs of children with autism and (2) provide an environment that encourages more people to enter the behavioral analytic field. The insurance lobby has mobilized its constituency and the reps are hearing more " no's " from small businesses than they are hearing " yes's " from parents and providers. If this legislation is to stand a chance, we need to match and surpass the other side's efforts. Many thanks in advance for your help!

A while ago we asked that you call Representative Nickol's office and ask him to stop blocking the Autism Insurance Bill's passage through the Insurance Committee. GOOD NEWS!! Your efforts convinced him NOT to oppose the Autism Insurance Bill in committee! Now that the bill is on the PA House floor, Rep. Nickol is continuing his attack! TAKE ACTION: PLEASE Continue to Call Representative Nickol!! We need Your help to stop his attack against the Autism Insurance Bill!! His Phone Number is (717) 787-8724 After you call Rep. Nickol's office, please MAKE A CALL and SEND AN EMAIL to the office of your own Pennsylvania House and Senate Legislators!! Even if you have done this already, in order to get this bill passed, all Pennsylvanians need to keep up the effort! Sincerely, Autism Speaks Click here to view this message as HTML in your browser.
