PROTECTING

ACCESS TO AUTISM

SERVICES ACROSS

 AMERICA

A unified coalition of

leading autism and

behavioral health

providers advocating

for children and families

 in every state.

The Autism Alliance

Network (AAN) is the first

 national coalition dedicated

exclusively to representing

 autism and applied

behavior analysis (ABA)

service providers in federal

and state healthcare policy

 advocacy. At a time

of unprecedented change

in Medicaid and healthcare

 financing, we bring

 together the nation's

leading autism service

 organizations to speak

with one voice for the

children and families who

 depend on these critical

 services.

 

Founded by nationally

 recognized government

affairs professionals with

 decades of experience in

 healthcare policy and

 behavioral health advocacy,

 AAN provides the expertise,

 coordination, and strategic

 resources our industry

needs to navigate the most

 significant healthcare

policy changes in a

generation.

 

WHY

NOW?

The One Big Beautiful

Bill Act represents a

watershed moment for

 Medicaid-funded autism services. With projected

 impacts including

significant reductions in Medicaid funding, new work

 requirements affecting

family eligibility, provider

tax restrictions, and

state-directed payment

caps, autism service

providers face an urgent

need for coordinated

national advocacy.

 

AAN was created to ensure

that autism service

providers are not passive

 observers in this

 transformation — but

active participants shaping

the policies that will

define the future of autism

care in America.
