The bill proposed funding for specialized teacher training, created a refundable tax credit for those pursuing autism-related education, and required local schools to report on their early intervention efforts. Additionally, it sought to establish a national task force on ASD and provide grants for state-level ombudsman offices to help families navigate available services.
