           intervention and ABA-based interventions.

CIGNA Health Care Coverage Position-Intensive Intervention Programs for Autism ~

           Many CIGNA HealthCare benefit plans explicitly exclude behavioral

           training and services, training, educational therapy or other non-

           medical ancillary services for learning disabilities, developmental

           delays, autism or mental retardation. In addition, this service may be

           governed by state mandates. CIGNA HealthCare does not cover

           intensive intervention programs for autism because they are

           considered to be experimental, investigational, or unproven.

            an intensive behavioral intervention program utilizing discrete trial               teaching and Applied Behavior Analysis.
