Advocacy Efforts
Autism Speaks' Local Legislative Agenda: 2009 will be a year of change for families needing access to autism treatment in New Jersey. Assembly bill 2238 and Senate Bill 1651 include coverage for therapies such as physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and evidence-based behavioral interventions, including applied behavioral analysis and other evidence-based, medically necessary treatments. Autism Speaks and Autism New Jersey (formerly COSAC) are working together to move these bills forward.

We need thousands of voices speaking on behalf of our loved ones with autism to ensure the success of this crucial legislation.
