Last week, Governor Brown vetoed SB 1050, authored by Senator Alquist, designed to improve the lives of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders through the deployment of telehealth. 

"Despite our disappointment, we continue to work to ensure that underserved children receive the health, dental, and other support services they need through the wise deployment of telehealth. Through successful policy changes that increase access to telehealth for families and on the ground demonstration projects, The Children’s Partnership is harnessing the benefits of technology to make a difference in the health and well-being of California’s children," said Jenny Kattlove, Director of Strategic Health Initiatives. Download the full statement here.

State Sen. Alquist's bill to establish a telehealth task force for autism passed the Assembly's Human Services Committee with a unanimous vote. "The biggest policy barrier right now is that some telehealth services are not reimbursed. We need to ensure that all types of telehealth services are reimbursed by both public and private payers," said Jenny Kattlove, Director of Strategic Health Initiatives. "As technology transforms the health care system, its applications give us an opportunity to ensure that children are not left out of the conversation."

"The proposed California study should look at treating children in schools, using technology to expand care and developing two- or three-year training programs for dental workers," said Jenny Kattlove, Director of Strategic Health Initiatives.
