Therapy For All Children

In 2010, autism legislation was passed in Missouri requiring insurance to cover therapies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We are working hard to get legislation passed which would expanded the autism legislation to cover children with any developmental disability. We need your help in two main ways:

      Email or call legislators
      Encourage others to send emails or make phone calls

 

Email or Call the Legislators

SB45 passed out of committee and now is waiting to be heard on the Senate floor. At this point, every State Senator will have the chance to learn about the legislation and vote on it. 

HB399 has unanimously passed through both House committees. It is scheduled to be heard for perfection on the House floor Tuesday, March 5. All state representatives will get to discuss and vote on the legislation.

Please send a brief email or call each member of the Senate, as well as to your representative and other representatives in leadership. Simply ask the legislators to please support HB399 or SB45. Share why this is important. If emailing, make sure to include where you live. Here are sample emails in case you aren't sure what to write.

 

We know there are a lot of names listed. To make it easier, click on the email address. Your email account should pull up, with the recipient and subject already entered. Simply copy and paste your message and send it to each legislator. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
