Library Item Name:

Autism Law Would Mean Access 		   
Summary Statement:

A decade ago, Barbara Zachs' health insurance wouldn't pay for the speech therapy her 2-year old son needed after he stopped talking at 15 months.

Kyle was diagnosed with autism. The family's insurance wanted nothing to do with the treatments.

Luckily, little Kyle Zachs was later struck with leukemia.

As a result, the Simsbury boy suffered chemotherapy poisoning, which led to a brain injury. With a brain injury, the insurance company would pay for speech and occupational therapy.
