A bill introduced by State Rep. Robb Greene (R-Shelbyville) that facilitates the continuation of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy for children moving from center- or home-based settings into public schools has passed the House. The legislation aims to ensure that students receiving ABA therapy can maintain access to these services within their local school environment.
The bill now moves to the Senate for further consideration.
**Why this matters**
ABA therapy is a widely used intervention for children with autism and other developmental disorders. Enabling a smoother transition of therapy services into schools can help maintain consistency in treatment and support educational progress. This legislation could improve access to necessary therapies for families navigating the shift from private to public education settings.
