If you read our recent post about SB 946, you know that the bill that will mandate insurance companies to cover ABA is currently "sitting" on Governor Brown's desk. If you haven't read it yet, please scroll down and take a moment to educate yourself on what the bill entails and how IMPORTANT it is.
Did you read it? Great.... so we have more news!
Here is what we just found out....
A representative at CalABA is reaching out to the community to let us know that there has been an influx of communication to the Governor OPPOSING the bill (i.e. people who don't want insurance to cover ABA). This is BAD.
Please take the time to educate yourself on the bill, contact Governor Brown's office, and inform anyone you know who may be affected by SB 946, and explain to them that it is important for ABA to be covered by insurance. This will open up ABA services to more families affected by autism.
What we can ALL do:
Please start writing/faxing the Governor letters/notes/stories to explain why you are in support of SB 946.
We know it's extra work but HANDWRITTEN letters often make more impact as the political powers take them more seriously.
The more voices that can be heard the better!
