Recent federal budget actions, like the "One Big, Beautiful Bill," are mandating significant Medicaid cuts, potentially impacting access to essential therapies like ABA and speech therapy. A House Budget Committee proposal is targeting substantial cuts, which could reduce Innovations Waiver services.
These cuts could mean reduced therapy access, hitting rural and low-income families the hardest. Research and training programs are also at risk, potentially creating gaps in early-career pipelines. Early childhood funds may be frozen, affecting service continuity.
To navigate this, assess your financial situation and make strategic program decisions with providers. For more details, you can check out Autism Speaks advocacy news or NC Voices for info on the North Carolina situation.
