U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, announced that the Senate voted for her amendment that would cover behavioral treatment for military children with autism spectrum disorders and other disabilities.
Based on the USA Heroes Act that Senator Gillibrand authored and introduced in 2009, this bipartisan amendment under the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill would help reduce the burden of military families and their children living with autism and other disabilities by requiring the military health insurance program to lift restrictions on behavioral care and expand proven treatment by meeting the national recommended standards.
