HB 453 did not make the agenda for the house committee, which could stall efforts to modernize autism care in Ohio.

This bill is about standing up to treatment limits for things like ABA, speech, and OT. This bill is about making ABA more sustainable. This bill is about helping kids that don’t have access to ABA due to long waitlist and impossible requirements with insurance companies.

✅Have you ever been frustrated with the insurance process?
✅ Have you ever been frustrated by high therapist turnover?
✅ Have you ever been on a waitlist?

Finally— any resident in Ohio can do something about it!

Spare 30 seconds, please share and email rep70@ohiohouse.gov asking for HB453 to be added to the hearing agenda this week.

Sample:

Email Subject: Constituent Request: Please Schedule Hearings on HB 453

Dear Representative Lampton,

I am writing to you as a parent( friend, relative, practitioner) of a child with autism, respectfully asking that House Bill 453 be scheduled for additional hearings in the House Insurance Committee.

Children with autism need insurance, both public and employer-based, to cover needed therapies and services.

Please schedule a hearing for House Bill 453 to modernize insurance coverage for autism.

ABA is so multi-dimensional. Are practitioners teachers? therapists? technicians? The answer is all of the above! So Happy Teacher Appreciation week to the amazing folks that teach the wonderful children we serve each day!

Last week at Community Behavior Consulting, we hit pause on routine—and hit play on growth. 💙💚💛

We intentionally prioritized staff training, because the quality of care we provide starts with the strength of our team.

✔️ 7 new team members trained in PCM Crisis Intervention
✔️ 12 staff recertified to maintain the highest safety standards
✔️ 6 team members upgraded to the next level of expertise

We also launched our first RBT Professional Development Unit training with 56 staff members, diving into what matters most:

Clinical compliance
Cultural humility
Co-regulation

Because great outcomes for our clients come from therapists who are not only skilled—but supported, reflective, and always growing.

And of course… we wrapped it up the CBC way—with some fun 🎉
Huge thanks to YoCrash for helping us beat the spring fever, plus some friendly competition on the basketball court 🏀

The team that trains together, plays together, works better together.

Did you know that, according to the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, children with Autism are at higher risk of developing mental health conditions? Studies have found that nearly 78% of children with autism in Ohio have at least one co-occurring mental health condition, including anxiety, depression, or eating disorders.

As part of the movement, we want to highlight the families and caregivers who navigate multiple complex health systems to access the care their children need.

Check our our latest blog about coregulation!

At Community Behavior Consulting, we often remind families and educators of an important truth: Children cannot learn new skills when their bodies are in a state of distress. When a child is overwhelmed, frustrated, or dysregulated, their nervous system is working hard just to regain balance. During...
