VA residents: Autism Legislative Alert URGENT

[Guest guest]

I tried emailing this to the group earlier today but don't think it went through

(and since it's time sensitive, I figured I'd try again, so I do apologize if it

ends up coming through twice). It's a very important Virgina bill re: ASD

insurance coverage that's being heard tomorrow, 2/3. If you're a VA resident,

please feel free to contact the delegates and urge them to support HB 1588:

Thanks!

Please understand that this (and most other) legislation is ONLY for ASD.  It

will NOT cover apraxia treatment unless your child is also ASD.
