Contact your Regulators

It also is critical for regulators to hear directly from families about the difficulties they face when accessing ABA services. 

To assist with this, CASP has provided information about how to contact regulators for both commercial and Medi-Cal plans. Please share the flyer with any families experiencing difficulties accessing services and ask them to take action.
