There is irreparable harm being done to clients with autism in treating this condition with EPSDT modalities. We have experienced clients treated with Behavioral Therapy modalities (EPSDT counseling) who's previous provider has not been properly trained (or no training) in Applied Behavior Analysis and damaged the progess of the client. ABA and EPSDT should be separated and ABA treatment provided under DHP guidelines for this client group.
