𧩠AUTISM CARES ACT: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU!
Congress has secured nearly $400 million in federal funding for autism research and programs through the Autism CARES Act in 2026! This is a HUGE win for our community.
â
This funding supports critical initiatives at the NIH, CDC, and HRSA.
đĄ HRSA will receive $57.344 million for training health professionals in autism-informed care. This means more doctors and therapists will be better equipped to support autistic individuals.
đ The CDC will get $28.1 million for autism prevalence monitoring and early diagnosis outreach. This helps us understand autism better and ensures early intervention reaches more families.
