Low cost, quality, evidence based, treatment for autism

Low cost, quality, evidence based, treatment for autism is possible. Treatment for autism is now prescriptive based upon age, functioning level, and other characteristics of the child. Unfortunately billions of Medicaid, insurance, government, and personal dollars are wasted on largely ineffectual interventions. Often this is caused by poorly trained interventionists which are sometimes motivated more by money than positive outcomes for children. There is a solution, based on evidence based interventions, with well trained providers using absolute treatment fidelity and significant involvement from parents and care providers.
