Medicaid does cover ABA therapy in North carolina now. My son receives it everyday. After typing i realized this post was 4 years ago! 😐

Again, I'm no expert but you might want to look at New Jersey if you're looking for a state to move to. As I understand it, you should avoid Florida.

@A MyAutismTeam Member, I wish I could figure out which states had a decent ABA insurance mandate. I'll just type in state by state on the search engine and see people's experiences if and when we move. I'm struck when I read that some parents decline it when it's not even an option for a lot of folks in the 16 states without the insurance mandate unless they can afford it.

Unfortunately, you're not alone. There is no ABA mandate in most states and in a lot of states that do have mandates, they're so full of holes that its still next to impossible to get a child high quality care.
I'm not an expert and hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong but Connors Law appears to be a state law in New Hampshire. It would have to be presented and passed in your own state for it to apply to your situation. Which would be a wonderful step forward for your state but it would likely take too long to do you any good, even if you could find a state senator who was willing to present the bill and work to get it passed (if it would pass).

North Carolina sounds a lot like Georgia when it comes to autism. Connor's Law doesn't apply except in a few cases. http://www.connorslaw.info/Info_about_Connor_s_...
