We support the regulations governing the practice of Behavior Analysis as they are currently written
 

I support the regulations governing the practice of Behavior Analysis as they are currently written. In fact, I would like to see the law increase the age range for which a child should receive ABA coverage. I am concerned that once my son, who has been diagnosed with Autism, reaches the age of 7 that we will no longer be able to afford the ABA therapy he needs since it would appear there are currently limitations to coverage regarding age for insurance carriers. Additionally, the county in which we live does not offer ABA therapy in their public school system, hence the major reason for my concern.
