Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-7 (October 2016) . - p.796-807 Titre : Assessing early implementation of state autism insurance mandates Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Julia BALLER, Auteur ; Colleen L. BARRY, Auteur ; Kathleen SHEA, Auteur ; Megan M. WALKER, Auteur ; Rachel OUELLETTE, Auteur ; David S. MANDELL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.796-807 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  health services  policy  qualitative research Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In the United States, health insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorder treatments has been historically limited. In response, as of 2015, 40 states and Washington, DC, have passed state autism insurance mandates requiring many health plans in the private insurance market to cover autism diagnostic and treatment services. This study examined five states’ experiences implementing autism insurance mandates. Semi-structured, key-informant interviews were conducted with 17 participants representing consumer advocacy organizations, provider organizations, and health insurance companies. Overall, participants thought that the mandates substantially affected the delivery of autism services. While access to autism treatment services has increased as a result of implementation of state mandates, states have struggled to keep up with the demand for services. Participants provided specific information about barriers and facilitators to meeting this demand. Understanding of key informants’ perceptions about states’ experiences implementing autism insurance mandates is useful for other states considering adopting or expanding mandates or other policies to expand access to autism treatment services.

National and State Trends in autistic Adult Supplemental Security Income Awardees: 2005-2019 / Kristy A. ANDERSON in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-8 (August 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 52-8 (August 2022) . - p.3547-3559 Titre : National and State Trends in autistic Adult Supplemental Security Income Awardees: 2005-2019 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristy A.

We identified three main findings: the number of autistic awards increased between 2005 and 2019 when awards for all other mental health disorders declined; roughly nine out of every 10 autistic adult awardees were between ages 18-25 years; there was variation in the growth of autistic awards across states. These findings support the need to consider geographic and age differences in SSI program participation among autistic adults and determine the underlying causes.
