By: The Center for Autism and Related Disorders “With 1 in every 88 children in America diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, it is important for parents to know their insurance options and learn how to navigate through the insurance process,” says CARD Founder and Chief Executive Officer Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D. “This new law means that parents and other caregivers will no longer have to worry about whether they can afford treatment that’s been proven to recover individuals on the spectrum,” says Dr. Granpeesheh. In August, 2009, CARD researchers published "Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Records in 38 Cases of Recovery from Autism” in the Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, showing that results of treating autism spectrum disorders can include recovery. CARD’s series of seminars will provide the most effective ways to access coverage, including: • Services that insurance companies will and will not cover • Types of plans and rules regarding coverage • Effective strategies to maximize your benefits • How to understand the complexities of different insurance carriers • Which plans will have to comply with SB 946 • What to know during open enrollment • How the mandate affects other types of funding (e.g., regional center) Seminars will be held in the following locations: Saturday, July 28 10 am to 2 pm 4928 E.
