Medicaid Funds Cut Autism Education Program

A program that teaches autistic children at public schools will lose more than one million dollars in Medicaid funding at the end of the year. The state Department of Health and Human Services says it will provide enough funding to get programs through the end of the school year, but then schools will have to come up with other ways to pay for the programs. The program is called applied behavioral therapy and teaches new skills to children with the brain disorder. child-autism-parent-cafe.com
