AHCA ABA Task Force UpdatesStay informed on the latest developments, meeting notes, and actionable items from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) ABA Task Force. Please check back frequently. New information and meeting updates will be posted to this page as they become available. About the Task ForceThe Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Task Force was created by Section 40 of House Bill 5003-E during the 2026E Legislature and is housed within the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The task force is charged with evaluating how ABA services are delivered under Florida Medicaid so that care remains high-quality and family-centered, the program stays financially sustainable and predictable, and current recipients and families do not experience a disruption in access. Over the course of five meetings, the ten-member task force will examine clinical care models, care transitions, quality metrics, service-authorization limits, potential caps on service duration, and provider enrollment and billing standards, then develop recommendations for the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives by December 31, 2026. Important Resources & DocumentsLatest Update: Task Force Initial ReviewAugust 2026The first meeting of the Agency for Health Care Administration’s ABA Task Force was a productive discussion that underscored both the critical role behavior analysis services play for Florida families and the importance of protecting the integrity of the Medicaid program. FABA President, Dr. Yanerys León, and FABA Past President, Dr. Kerri Peters, are both members of this newly formed task force, bringing years of clinical and leadership experience to these critical discussions about strengthening access to quality behavior services for thousands of Florida children. FABA Executive Director, Dr. Missy Olive, also provided public testimony at the meeting, advocating on behalf of our members and the families we collectively serve. FABA will continue to participate in all Task Force meetings, and we're committed to keeping our members informed as this important work progresses. Together, we can help shape solutions that promote early intervention, high-quality individualized care, and the best possible outcomes for Florida's children.
