Protect Medicaid
The 2025 federal budget may slash $880 billion from Medicaid, threatening lifesaving services for individuals with autism and disabilities. Medicaid provides ABA therapy, job skills training, healthcare, mental health support, and daily living assistance—services that help people live independently and thrive especially those in the autism community.
Cuts could mean longer waitlists (already 10+ years), loss of critical therapies such as ABA, and fewer supports for families.
