🚨 TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SAVE SPEECH THERAPY! 🚨
Proposed changes to CMS regulations for 2027 threaten access to critical speech-language services for families nationwide. Speech therapy changes lives—from helping children and adults find their voice to supporting with recovery and swallowing safety. We cannot afford to let coverage be cut!
Whether you are a patient, parent, therapist, or supporter, we need your voice before September 13, 2026.
