Protect Children with Profound Autism in Indiana
 

Recently, Indiana's Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) announced that it would cap applied behavior analysis (ABA) services to children with autism at 30 hours a week for a maximum of 3 years. Many children with profound autism rely on ABA therapy to literally help them communicate, connect, and remain safe in their environment. 

Make no mistake, autistic children who require round-the-clock care will bear the brunt of these arbitrary cuts. Bureaucratic limitations of medically necessary care will only result in more significant costs for Indiana in the future. 

Fortunately, Rep. Becky Cash has filed a bill to address this discrimination. House Bill 1414 would require FSSA to provide an analysis of the impact of the proposed cap. It is essential that this bill passes this legislative session. 

Here's How You Can Help:

• Ask your representative to ensure that HB 1414 passes this session. 
  
  How do you do this? Simply enter your information in the provided block, and your state representative will be identified. Then, personalize your message, letting them know that you, as their constituent, are looking to them for their leadership and support. 
   
• Ask your friends and family to take action, too. 
  
  You don't have to be personally affected by this issue to take action. Every constituent voice matters. Please share this far and wide.

We'll continue to update you on the bill's progress. Thank you for taking action!
