The dedicated leadership of Michigan Lt. Governor Brian Calley has allowed the state to realize that it has one of the worsts records in child welfare.
Nationally, the rates of autism in children, as of 2008, are 1 in 88. In Detroit, Michigan, the rates skyrocket to less than 1 in 10 in boys. Unfortunately, particularly in Detroit Metropolitan region, it was once common belief that abuse and neglect were the causes of Autism. Once these children entered the foster care system, life only got worse with high rates of unnecessary psychotropic drugging of children and subjected to violent treatment of caregiver environments.
Expansions of Medicaid policy, as well as private insurance mandates to cover autism treatments, is basic finance. Invest in the welfare of a child to achieve the best interest to generate a profitable, future return of a productive, tax paying citizen.
