By Autism Society
The Autism Society is pleased to announce its collaboration with HelpPRO Therapist Finder. The HelpPRO Therapist Finder was founded in 1995, as a tool to assist every person in America to readily find mental health services to meet their needs. The goal of this collaboration is to better connect people and families to ASD mental health providers at both www.autismsource.org and www.HelpPRO.com.
To help those searching for professionals that specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder, HelpPro has created a specialized search page at: www.helppro.com/ASD.
Also, as part of the collaboration, HelpPRO is offering a free basic listing for one year on their website to mental health professionals who specialize in working with people on the Autism spectrum. For more information please go to http://www.helppro.com/ASDtherapists.aspx.

The bill, authored by Rep. Arlen Siegfreid, R-Olathe, requires that private health insurers provide coverage for behavioral therapy and other treatments for children up to age 19 who are clinically diagnosed with conditions along the autism spectrum."
