Upon Congressional request, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine appointed a committee to conduct an Independent Analysis of Department of Defense Autism Care Demonstration (ACD), including specifically addressing nine areas identified in Section 737 of Public Law 117-81, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. The ACD covers applied behavior analysis services to military families as TRICARE beneficiaries. To inform the committee, the National Academies hosted a public workshop on January 11-12, 2024, to examine what is known about applied behavior analysis and assessment methods in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. Workshop discussions included the current state of the field, historical progression of policies influencing the ACD and effects on families, and first-person experiences of applied behavior analysis providers. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief summarizes the presentations and discussions expressed during the first day public session.
