CDXXAUTISIM ABOVE: Ashley pushes Abby on the swing while Abby's mother Jill Tappert watches. Being on the swing helps Abby with her vestibular input. The vestibular system in the body gives our sense of movement and balance in the world around us. Ashley Rein <cq> left is an Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist (ABA therapist) who works mostly exclusively with autistic children. She spends 3 hours a day 4 times a week with Abby Tappert <cq> 4 <cq> who is autistic. This story is on the Jill and Steve Tappert's ultimately successful effort to force Anthem Blue cross blue shield to pay for treatment for their daughter who has autism.
