Library Item Name:

Arizona Moves to Cover Behavioral Therapy for Autism; Media May Confuse the Issue 		   
Summary Statement:

The implication here is that, if only insurers will underwrite the costs of behavioral therapy for young children, additional services may not be needed for the vast majority of people on the autism spectrum. But the reality is that the vast majority of people who do have behavioral (or, in fact, any) intervention do not become "typical" -- and while their behaviors may make it possible for them to "function in regular classrooms," their sensory and cognitive differences may make it impossible for them to actually learn in a typical setting.
