Creating Public Policy in a Climate of Clinical Indeterminancy: Lovaas as the Case Example du Jour.
Feinberg, Edward; Beyer, Jonathan
Infants and Young Children, v10 n3 p54-66 Jan 1998
Addresses public policy issues concerned with treatment of children with autism under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Emphasis is on issues raised by the popular, but labor-intensive, Lovaas method, such as whether these therapies are an entitlement under IDEA, the choice of an intervention strategy decision process, financing of expensive one-to-one interventions, and health insurance.
