Kentucky ABA providers: how many hours did your team spend last month chasing appeals, resubmitting grievances, and re-documenting medical necessity for care a child clearly needs?

How many families have been told their child needs another comprehensive evaluation to prove they still have autism — as if autism goes away?

Clinicians don't belong on the phone. Clinicians belong on the floor, taking care of their clients. Every hour spent fighting a payer is an hour taken from kids — and every delay puts a child at risk of losing services. You shouldn't have to fight this alone, case by case, forever.

Bluegrass Alliance for Behavior Health works on the system itself: tracking payer noncompliance, arming providers and families with the tools to push back, and demanding real oversight of Kentucky's Medicaid managed-care plans.

A donation from your company funds work that protects your patients and your practice: https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-kids-get-the-care-they-deserve

Share this with other providers — and if these delays have hit your clinic, share your story with us. (We're a 501(c)(3); corporate donations are tax-deductible.)

This morning, I’m heading to Frankfort on ye old West Kentucky Parkway to meet with colleagues and partners to discuss access to behavioral health services for children across the Commonwealth.

We have several meetings scheduled focused on critical issues impacting families and providers, including access to diagnosis and treatment, Medicaid policy, barriers created by commercial insurance practices, and the systemic challenges that delay or prevent care. These conversations will center on practical solutions and how providers, parents, and legislators can work together to improve access to timely, appropriate services for Kentucky’s children.

This past week, I had the privilege of attending the Autism Law Summit—an annual gathering of attorneys, advocates, and industry leaders dedicated to improving access to care for individuals with autism nationwide.

Each year, the Summit recognizes a few individuals who have made contributions to the field in a non-clinical capacity. I was incredibly honored (and surprised!) to be recognized this year as the Provider Advocate of the Year.

While a single name may be on the award, the truth is that none of this work would be possible without every single member of our team at Bloom. Because of their dedication and excellence in service delivery for our clients, I’m able to devote time to advocacy efforts through KY's ABA Advocates trade association, the Council of Autism Service Providers, and our Bluegrass Alliance for Behavior Health non-profit—fighting for better access to care for children and families across our state and nation.

This recognition belongs to every member of our team at Bloom, and to the families and colleagues who inspire this work every day.

Thank you all for what you do in your role to support advocacy—together, we’re making a difference that reaches far beyond our clinics, and it truly is how we move mountains.

On Tuesday, we wrapped up the 2025 CASP conference in San Francisco. I had the honor of presenting on AI's ethical and effective use in ABA with several incredible peers from our field who are a subset of our core workgroup. With exciting opportunities available today and even more on the horizon, leaders in our companies must prioritize informed decision-making and transparency in their AI implementations.

The use of AI in ABA is something we must navigate carefully. Today, when a practice shops for software, they often verify that the software does what it says and is HIPAA compliant. With stand-alone and AI-integrated tools, practices must adopt many additional concepts like vendor due diligence, vulnerability and risk mitigation, internal audits, policy and procedures around the use of technologies, and a whole host of other steps to ensure that they are not allowing excessive risk.

Let's continue this conversation and ensure that we are all making informed decisions that lead to increases in quality, reductions in risk, and all the other good things that AI can bring to our field!
