The story in brief
Florida’s ABA Task Force has two meetings remaining before adopting recommendations for lawmakers on autism treatment spending, WUSF reports. Ideas under discussion include licensing businesses that offer applied behavior analysis, linking Medicaid payments to provider surveys and expanding parents’ treatment options. Centria Autism CEO David Harbour proposed payment penalties for failed surveys. State health care agency Secretary Shevaun Harris expressed interest in business licensing. The proposals remain under discussion; the panel has not adopted its final recommendations.
