Wisconsin Autism Providers Association (WAPA) applauds the Governor’s budget initiative to invest in improving access to autism treatment for Medicaid recipients.
Dr. Rebecca Thompson, who is the President of WAPA and serves on the Governor’s Autism Council, presented at the Wisconsin Joint Legislative Council Symposia Series on Early Access to Autism Treatment. She said she enjoyed working on the Symposia Series with Legislative Council and Agency staff, other stakeholders, and Legislators like Senator Andre Jacque to bring visibility to barriers and solutions to autism diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Thompson and her members say they look forward to working with legislators and legislative leaders during the upcoming budget process.
