HB 30-14: Atlascare Speech and Language Therapy Act (Passed)

[Continential]

I introduced this bill to ensure that Speech and Language Therapy services get covered in Atlascare Part B plans. I introduced this because as someone who needed Speech Therapy services as a child, speech and language therapy services are important to help treat various communication disorders.

My apologies for not being able to answer the Speaker's questions earlier, but I'll answer them now.

What's the reasoning behind splitting physical and occupational therapy up, and do either of those have any overlap with speech and language services?

Because they look better separate
Well, because not all people who do physical therapy do occupational therapy.
From personal experience, as someone who did all of those services, I know that many people who do physical and occupational therapy also have speech and language services.
