If you would like to stop paying out of pocket, please come join us this Tuesday evening for an informative discussion about insurance coverage for any and all autism treatments (as long as they help your child). This includes therapies such as SIRRI, HBOT, Neuro Feedback AND biomedical treatments such as DAN! and homeopathy.Yes, you can get your questions answered about Steven’s Law (private insurance coverage for ABA, ST and OT), but this discussion will go beyond Steven’s Law for those of you who have Medicaid coverage for your children. If you have been denied Medicaid for your ASD child, you might consider (again) fighting that decision after hearing this presentation.

Please join board members of the ASA & ROK (an ASA affiliate) for this important discussion:

Tuesday, March 25 at 6:30 pm at Coco’s Restaurant (banquet room);
located in the parking lot of the Paradise Valley Mall

Hope to see you all there, Susan & Cynthia
