Get Involved in New Jersey Legislation for Autism!

November 22, 2008

Dear New Jersey Autism Advocate,

The Autism Insurance Reform movement in New Jersey is in FULL SWING and to

acheive coverage for children in our state this year, we need everyone's

help!

Volunteers in four other states - Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and

Pennsylvania have been able to acheive insurance coverage for their children

this year! A total of eight states now meet our standards of appropriate

coverage, ending autism insurance discrimination and covering treatments and

therapies that are medically necessary for our children such as speech,

occupational therapy and applied behavior analysis therapy.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
