What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a range of developmental disabilities thatcause impairments in multiple areas of development and typically appearwithin the first 3 years of life.

ASD is the result of a complex neurological disorder that affects brainfunction. The core areas of impairment include Social Communication andRestricted, Repetitive Behavior .

Current DSM-5 criteria now merges previously independent diagnoses of Autistic Disorder, Aspergers Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, into a single subtype, Autism SpectrumDisorder.

An individuals severity along the autism spectrum is now describedaccording to the amount of required support, as opposed to differentialdiagnoses such as Aspergers Disorder.

Currently, 1 in 68 children will be diagnosed with ASD (CDC, 2014)

No two persons with ASD are alike; each has unique strengths andweaknesses. All individuals with ASD exhibit different levels of social andbehavioral challenges.

Examples of Impairment

Social Communication Restricted, Repetitive Behavior

Lack of social- emotionalreciprocity

Difficulties with initiating orresponding to social interactions

Difficulties using or understandingnonverbal cues such as gestures,facial expressions, body language

Difficulties developing,maintaining, and understandingrelationships

Repetitive or stereotypedmovements and/or speech

Preoccupation with interest thatis abnormally intense or focused

Inflexible adherence to routine Hyper- or Hyporeactivity to

sensory input, or unusualinterests in sensory aspects ofenvironment

Summary of Relevant Legislation

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that governs specialeducation programs.

Major components of the law are:

Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Appropriate Assessments Individualized Education Program Emphasizes the Role of the Parents Related Services

Autism is 1 of 14 disability categories which qualies students to receive educationalservices.

IDEA is comprised of parts A, B, C, and D. Parts B and C govern the services of childrenwith disabilities. Part B of IDEA outlines the regulations that address the needs of childrenage 3-21 (school age children) who have qualifying disabilities. Part C of IDEA outlines theregulations that address the needs of children age 0-3 who have qualifying disabilities orwho have a diagnostic condition that places them at risk for future or substantial delay.Goals of Part C are to enhance the development of infants and toddlers with disabilitiesthus minimizing potential for delay, and enhance the capacity of families to meet thespecial needs of these children.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is the federal anti-discriminatory law whichgoverns accommodations for students who have a disability but are not eligible foreducational services under IDEA. A child who has trouble learning may not be foundeligible for special education services, but may need accommodations to succeedin the educational setting. This law was designed to implement regulations that willappropriately accommodate studentsneeds and conditions as adequately as the needs of

students without disabilities.Source: OSEP, 2010

Medicaid Services for individuals with autism (waiver or Katie Beckett option)Medicaid provides a wide range of services for eligible individuals with disabilities. Theseservices include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. Eligibilityrequires an individual (a) have mental retardation or related condition prior to age 22, (b)require a level of care typically provided in a hospital, nursing facility, or Intermediate CareFacility for the Mentally Retarded, and (c) meet the nancial eligibility requirements. Manychildren are denied Medicaid based on parental income and resources. Additionally, not

all children with autism require a level of support that make them eligible for institutionalor hospitalized care. However, even severely impaired individuals with autism can havetheir needs met at home in their community. The Katie Beckett Eligibility Option permitschildren to receive services and support at home if a physician validates that it is safeand appropriate. Further, it allows the state to waive the parental income and resourcesfor children who are under 19 but otherwise meets the Medicaid requirements. Eligibilityunder the Katie Beckett waiver option means that Medicaid will cover medically necessaryservices. Note that not all services for individuals with autism are covered. Medicaid doesnot cover applied behavior analysis and behavioral therapies. Applications for Medicaidunder the Katie Beckett Eligibility Option are made through your local Nevada Division ofWelfare and Supportive Services.

Nevada Assembly Bill 162 (A.B. 162)Legislation passed on May 29, 2009 that requires insurance companies to providecoverage of evidence-based, medically necessary autism therapies. Sponsored by

Assemblyman James Ohrenschall (D-12), the law specically requires insurers to coverup to $36,000 a year for behavioral treatments and therapies, including Applied Behavior

Analysis (ABA) therapy for children until age eighteen, or age twenty-one if the individual isenrolled in high school. There cannot be any limit put on the number of visits to an autismservice provider and the maximum per year benet must be adjusted annually for ination.The law applies to small and large group health plans and State worker Health Plan, whichare governed by state law. Individual insurance plans will have to offer an optional riderfor autism coverage. The Nevada State Board of Psychological Examiners is responsiblefor the regulation and licensure for ABA service providers. Covered services include thoseprovided by licensed physicians, psychologists, board certied behavior analysts (BCBAs),and direct providers who are supervised by one of the above. Eligible services will includeapplied behavior analysis (ABA) therapies derived from evidence-based research includingdiscrete trial training, intensive intervention programs, pivotal response training, and verbal

behavior. Insurers will be required to begin coverage starting January 1, 2011.Nevada Assembly Bill 359 (A.B. 359)Nevada Assembly Bill 359 passed in 2009 requires screening of a child with autism atthe ages levels and frequency recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics,or its successor organization. The Health Division to provide early intervention servicesto children with autism and the persons with whom the Health Division contracts toprovide early intervention services to children with autism (a) possess the knowledge andunderstanding of the scientic research and support for the methods and approachesfor serving children with autism and the ability to recognize the difference between anapproach or method that is scientically validated and one that is not; (b) possess theknowledge to accurately describe to parents and guardians the research supporting

the methods and approaches, including, without limitation, the knowledge necessary toprovide an explanation that a method or approach is experimental if it is not supportedby scientic evidence; (c) immediately notify a parent or legal guardian if a child isidentied as being at risk for a diagnosis of autism and refer parent or legal guardian to theappropriate professionals for further evaluation and simultaneously refer the parent or legalguardian to any appropriate early intervention services and strategies; and (d) provide theparent or legal guardian with information on evidence-based treatments and interventions

that may assist the child in his or her development and advancement.

Affordable Care ActThe Affordable Care Act became a federal law in March of 2010. The purpose of thelaw was to increase availability, affordability, and adequacy of health insurance (AutismSpeaks, 2014).

Highlights: How the Affordable Care Act may Help Families Affected by Autism Coverage cannot be denied because of a pre-existing condition of autism Higher premiums cannot be charged because a person on your plan has autism Autism screening at ages 18 and 24 months is considered mandatory for insurance

coverage (if the service is delivered by a network provider). Out of pocket expenses will be capped when using network providers If your current insurance does not cover certain autism services you need, you can

buy a policy just for your child. Pediatric services, including oral and vision benets must now be covered in policies Adults can stay on a parents plan until age 26regardless of whether the person is

living with a parent, in school or nancially dependent. Plans affected by the Affordable Care Act must cover essential health benets,

including behavioral health treatment, habilitative services, and prescription drugs. Certain plans in Nevada will include coverage of Applied Behavior Analysis in 2014;

there may be a limit to the number of sessions per year. Note: There are plans that are self-insured or plans that have been grandfathered

in that are not required to cover Applied Behavior Analysis (these are plans that werebought before March 23, 2010.

Your insurance plan materials will say whether you plan is grandfathered in or not.

The review of literature (1990 to 2011) yielded 456 intervention studies and identied 27interventions as evidence-based. Evidence-based means that the treatment repeatedlyproduced benecial results across a certain number of studies that met or exceededspecic standards of research quality. See below for the names of each intervention.

A brief description of each intervention is available in this guides glossary.
