Magellan Autism Connections®

Increasing prevalence, high costs and state mandate requirements make managing services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families more important than ever.

Consider these statistics:

  • 1 in 36 children have autism in the U.S.
  • Treatment costs have increased to $60,000 annually per person.
  • All 50 states have taken government action to require coverage for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
