The Tricare Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration (CACD) is available to active duty, retired, reservist, and National Guard families. Military dependents diagnosed with Autism, Asperger’s, or PDD-NOS are eligible to participate in the program. The Tricare Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a comprehensive structured program individually designed to address skill deficits (i.e. language, cognitive, social, play, self-help) and problem behaviors in diagnosed children. Additionally, 15 – 40 hours of 1:1 therapy by a Behavior Technician are covered per week. The CACD program also covers assessments, treatment planning, parent training, and ongoing supervision provided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
