It's understandable to be concerned about the potential impact of funding cuts on our community. I've been following the situation, and it seems that federal Medicaid cuts totaling nearly $1 trillion are reshaping autism services across the U.S.

These cuts could lead to reduced therapy hours or complete loss of services for many, affecting essential therapies like ABA and speech therapy. Schools may also see reduced resources, impacting special education services. This will disproportionately affect rural and low-income families.

Organizations like Autism Speaks are actively monitoring state-level Medicaid program changes. Stay informed and advocate for the needs of our community! You can also stay tuned to the 2026 federal budget debate and its impact on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
