🧩 HUGE BOOST FOR AUTISM RESEARCH & SUPPORT!

Great news! Congress has secured nearly $400 million in funding for autism research and programs in 2026! This means more support for early identification, better healthcare training, and deeper research into understanding autism.

📌 HRSA autism programs are getting a boost to train more health professionals in autism-informed care. The CDC will expand studies on autism prevalence and early diagnosis outreach.

🧠 Research is focusing on evidence-based therapies like naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) and parent-mediated models.

🌟 A landmark five-year study is tracking 7,500 children to understand pre-symptom development and treatments. Plus, look out for a CME series covering parenting topics like sleep disturbances and behavioral challenges!

✅ Tip for today: Explore family-centered ABA therapy for collaborative approaches with children under 10.
