Sec. 300.8 (c) (1)
(i) Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication
and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects a child’s educational
performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities
and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and
unusual responses to sensory experiences.
(ii) Autism does not apply if a child’s educational performance is adversely affected primarily because the
child has an emotional disturbance, as defined in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.
(iii) A child who manifests the characteristics of autism after age three could be identified as having autism
if the criteria in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section are satisfied.

The FAPE mandate requires the student’s special education
program (a) be provided at public expense; (b) meet the
standard of the state educational agency; (c) include preschool,
elementary, or secondary education; and (d) be provided
in conformity with a student’s individualized
education program (IEP).

The three factors predominantly associated with wins by
either party for both groups of decisions were testimony of
witnesses, documentation of progress, and Individualized
Education Program elements.
Act (IDEA) regulations (1999) define autism as follows: A
developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and
nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally
evident before age three, that adversely affects a child’s
educational performance. Other characteristics often
associated with autism are engagement in repetitive
activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to
environmental change, or change in daily routines, and
unusual responses to sensory experiences.

Although DTT and ABA are synonymous for most parents and
school officials, discrete trial is but one aspect of ABA.
Typically, parents request DTT for 40 hours a week, arriving
at an Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting armed
with Lovaas’s original research study citing a 47% recovery
rate (Lovaas, 1987) and the book Let Me Hear Your Voice
(Maurice, 1993).

The cases concerning program selection were those in which
the parents sought an instructional approach (e.g. Lovaas)
other than that proposed by the district (e.g., TEACCH). In
contrast, the cases concerning program implementation were
those in which the parties agreed on the instructional
approach of ABA/DTT/ Lovaas but the parent contested the
location (e.g., home vs. school setting),duration (e.g.,
number of hours of instruction), or provider (e.g., particular
individual or specific qualifications).
63% focused on program selection.

The most frequent factors were documentation of
educational benefit (n = 20), testimony of witnesses
(n = 16), and IEP elements (n= 14).

Anthem Agrees to Settle Indiana Autism ABA Case
April 6, 2018
Anthem agreed to pay approximately $1.63 million to class members and agrees to cease using
guidelines that based coverage solely on age.
Settlement also requires reviewers to participate in periodic outside training related to Autism and
ABA.
In 2012, Anthem sent letters to their Indiana subscribers with autism stating that medical necessity reviews
for ABA therapy services for school age children, that is children aged 7 and older, would include a review of
the child's school schedule and services as part of the medical necessity review.

Six states (50%) distinguished between medical and
educational services, stating that services provided under the
mandate do not affect any obligation to provide services
under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
