@SenJasonLewis @seangarballeyMA thanks for your leadership & dedication! In a recent study, only 40% of doctors said they feel comfortable treating a patient who has autism - though 1/36 US children have ASD. Autistic people have a right to access healthcare! #mapoli

@SenJohnFKeenan thanks for your leadership & for the Senate's support! By offering additional training to the human service workforce, the pilot will improve outcomes for people who have autism & complex behavioral challenges - and strengthen the workforce supporting them #mapoli

Applied Behavioral Analysis is an important treatment for so many. Thank you to my Senate colleagues for supporting my amendment funding @AFAMaction's pilot program for ABA training for MassHealth & @DDSmass staff #MAPoli #SenateBudget
