We often post about #ABA services offered to #militaryfamilies and the independent analysis by the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Our newer followers may wonder why we post about ABA services so often❓ We're resharing a video that we created a few years ago to explain how all of this started. #MAA will keep pushing to reach our goal of ensuring access to quality ABA services for ALL military families - Not only those with #autism but other developmental disorders that may benefit from ABA services. #efmp #nevergiveup #missionalphaadvocacy

#DoD claims they are not able to cover applied behavior analysis (#ABA) services as a basic #TRICARE health benefit due to lack of evidence to support covering it as a medical services. DoD has repeatedly reported to Congress they must have Randomized Controlled Trials in order to make the determination that ABA services are a proven medical service for autism treatment. This is a clip from the November 2024 public hearing by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee reviewing the Autism Care Demonstration (#ACD) program. This committee member asks an expert in research ethics her opinion on the ethics of mandating a Randomized control trial to determine coverage of ABA services. The expert's response was eye-opening. #MAA is committed to continue advocating on behalf of military families with exceptional needs to ensure access to worldclass helthcare and a high quality of life. #missionalphaadvocacy #military #militaryfamily #militaryspouse

Let's talk about some common themes we are seeing with military families navigating special education. 1. Supports transferring after PCS - Families are reporting struggles with services transferring from one duty station to the next or from a DODEA school to a district or county school. 2. Disability-related suspensions - Families are reporting suspensions that are due to the code of conduct per the school but also appear to be directly related to the learner's disability. 3. Special Education Evaluation Denials - Families report requesting special education evaluations, sometimes in writing, and the request is denied due to the school feeling that there is no need due to there being no behavior concerns. 4. How to request a special education evaluation - Families have learners who have 504 plans or no program in place and are unsure of how to request because verbal conversations have not led to an evaluation or plan in place. 5. Appropriate accommodation and supports - Families have inquired about what supports and accommodations could benefit their disabled learners. 6. Requesting 1:1 - Families are inquiring about how they request a 1:1 and what are the requirements for this. So these are some items we will delve into in the coming days. Do you have similar issues as a military family? Are you seeing similar concerns as organizations and individuals supporting military families?

Sharing a presentation that I will be delivering to a few different Canadian Armed Forces groups. It may be useful for anyone who wishes to learn about the strengths and challenges of autism within a national defence environment and how best to support this unique neurodivergent group to access their unique skills and perspectives. Enhancing the Canadian Armed Forces' operational capability and effectiveness through neurodiversity and neuroinclusion and making it a more welcoming place for autistics will require the following: - Actively eradicating ableist attitudes and practices that marginalize individuals based on their cognitive makeup - Addressing and dismantling unconscious biases to create a supportive environment for minds-of-all-kinds - Embedding neuroinclusion as a foundational element of culture, policies and practices throughout all levels - Learning and researching best practices for attracting and retaining neurodiverse talent

Today, we were fortunate to be hosts to Park Square Barristers Simon Anderson and Amrit Atwal, who gave us an illuminating seminar on Non-Freezing Cold Injuries (NFCI) and Military PTSD claims. Days like this provide our team with the necessary additional tools to better help our clients and provide us with an opportunity to ask detailed questions about these important issues. #nonfreezingcoldinjury, #NFCI, #MilitaryPTSD, #NoWinNoFeeSolicitors, #macclesfieldsolicitors, #CPDtraining, #TEAMLEARNING

Here are lessons learned from years of advocating as a CEO of MAA 1)you can’t just rely on your story. Always tie the story back to a “so what”. I try to tie it back to the four R’s. Readiness, Resilience, Retention, and Recruitment. 2)Grow where you are planted. You may not be able to travel to Capitol Hill. Focus on your local networks first and then spread out. Have discussions with your base command, chamber of commerce, state legislators, and federal legislators 3)Be a Relentless Learner. Always ask questions. Why is it this way? How did this start? How can it be better? Below is a clip where I share another military family’s story with a Congressionally mandated committee reviewing autism services for military families. What are your lessons learned from advocating?
#MAA's CEO and Founder, Dr. Kristi Cabiao, spoke to the independent committee reviewing #TRICARE's autism services for military families. Advocating for children with #autism is our passion. Kristi's child has been receiving #ABA services through the Autism Care Demonstration (#ACD) program since 2018. In this clip, Kristi highlights a military family's experience losing ABA services due to severe limitations on ABA provider reimbursements. If ABA providers are not fairly reimbursed for their expertise, they will continue leaving the TRICARE network. We cannot afford to continue losing quality ABA providers from our network. The struggle to locate ABA services with each permanent change of station will continue to worsen if the DoD does not course correct. #missionalphaadvocacy #military #specialneeds
