Autism in military families: funding Intensive Behavioral Interventions.

This measure would respectfully urge the Congress of the United States to pass legislation that will fully fund Intensive Behavioral Interventions (IBI) services through TRICARE for all military families with children with autism, to designate IBI services as a medical necessity to make coverage of IBI services available for the children with autism of retired military personnel, and to ensure parental choice of treatment by fully funding all IBI services, including Applied Behavioral Analysis, DIR/Floortime, RDI, and other forms of intervention therapy demonstrated to be clinically effective.
