10 Current Legislative Activities Health Insurance Reform: HB 569, Connor s Law An act clarifying insurance coverage for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders in NH. Aligns coverage with AAP Guidelines Framed within NH mental health parity Makes behavior based therapy a covered service up to $50,000/year ages 0 8; $36,000 thereafter Prohibits coverage decline based on habilitation Supported by NH House January 6, 2010 Supported by Senate Committee, April 15, 2010 Voted upon by the NH Senate, April 21, 2010

11 Current Challenges and Gaps Access to diagnostic evaluation services Sustained family support Family care coordination across systems Understanding of ASD across systems Effective funding models Qualified providers Lack of certification or recognized level of training Differs from region to region Geographic challenges Lack of resources in rural areas, esp. north country Transportation (no good statewide system) Cultural diversity in core areas of the state; need for translators

12 Looking Towards the Future All New Hampshire children will be screened for ASD before age two. All children suspected of having ASD will be referred immediately for early supports and services and undergo a diagnostic evaluation within 45 days. All children with a diagnosis of ASD will have begun a robust program of evidence based intervention and treatment within 45 days of diagnosis. Early supports & services, school based services, family support, community support, care coordination ~ NH Commission on Autism Spectrum Disorders: Findings & Recommendations, 2008
