Student Advocacy Day is today!📢
This year, we’re writing letters to Congress to protect access to Medicaid by opposing additional funding cuts and policies that create barriers to care.
Further cuts or eligibility restrictions could threaten access to essential audiology and speech-language pathology services, particularly for children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
Every voice matters! Let’s advocate for policies that protect access to these vital services and support the individuals and families who rely on them. 🗣️🔉🦻
Image Description: A colorful, pastel-themed flyer celebrating **Student Advocacy Day**. The flyer features large lettering in muted shades of pink, orange, mustard yellow, and sage green, surrounded by decorative hearts, stars, and leaves. In the center, an illustration shows a student asking, “What does advocacy mean?” while speaking with an adult.
The flyer explains the importance of advocacy in Communication Sciences and Disorders, emphasizing access to speech, language, hearing, and swallowing services. It highlights NSSLHA chapters’ efforts to encourage Congress to protect Medicaid access and oppose funding cuts that create barriers to care. It also encourages students to participate by sending Take Action Letters to support fair healthcare policies.
At the bottom, the flyer provides a contact email for questions: [[email protected]]
