UnitedHealth's Access Restrictions Impacting Autism Treatment for Children

In a troubling development, families are facing significant barriers to essential treatments for children with autism due to strategic access limitations imposed by UnitedHealth. Sharelle Menard, a mother of a young boy named Benji, shares her harrowing experience. At one point, she believed her son would never find his voice. The challenges were overwhelming; she struggled to comfort him during his frequent outbursts, and simple activities like reading together became impossible.

Menard recalls the relentless cycle of frustration and distress, both for her and for Benji, who often screamed in frustration due to his inability to communicate his needs. This situation highlights the broader issue of access to critical therapies that can profoundly affect the development and quality of life for children with autism. As families navigate these obstacles, the urgent need for equitable and comprehensive healthcare access becomes increasingly clear. The emotional toll on parents and children alike underscores the importance of addressing these systemic issues.
