ASHA Advocacy has analyzed the latest executive order from the Trump Administration that directs the closure of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). It’s challenging to predict exactly what this order means for the future of the department and the programs it oversees. We anticipate the focus will be on developing a legislative plan to eliminate ED, shifting certain programs and responsibilities to other federal agencies, and reducing funding and resources for others. Read our full analysis: https://at.asha.org/A7

ASHA will continue to fight efforts to eliminate the department and other efforts to reduce its role. Help elevate our message by urging your members of Congress to protect the U.S. Department of Education: https://at.asha.org/A8.

Check our executive order page (https://at.asha.org/A5) for future updates. We will also share updates in the ASHA Advocate (https://at.asha.org/A6) and ASHA Now.

Time Is Running Out for Medicare Telehealth Coverage and Addressing Part B Cuts: LINK IN BIO/COMMENTS TO TAKE ACTION

Join us in taking action for Medicare! If Congress doesn't act, federal government funding will end on March 14 and Medicare telehealth authority for audiologists and SLPs will end on March 31. The funding legislation Congress needs to pass to avoid a shutdown has the potential to address both telehealth authority and Medicare Part B payment cuts.
In Vermont, where nearly 160,000 residents rely on Medicare, Medicare part B funding cuts would be particularly harmful in our rural communities. Vermont’s seniors, people with disabilities, and the healthcare providers who serve them would be negatively impacted in their access and affordability of health care needs. Medicare Part B covers essential outpatient services, including doctor visits, preventive care, mental health services, and durable medical equipment. Cuts to this funding could lead to higher out-of-pocket costs for patients, reduced access to specialists, and fewer providers willing to accept Medicare.

If Telehealth services for Speech Pathology and Audiological services are discontinued, many Vermonters—especially those in rural areas—will face significant barriers to care. Telehealth has expanded access for children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities who struggle with in-person visits due to distance, mobility challenges, or transportation issues. Without virtual options, patients may experience delays in treatment, regression in communication skills, and fewer opportunities for consistent therapy.

VSHA remains committed to staying informed about congressional developments on these critical issues. As a small, rural state, Vermont is especially vulnerable to the impacts of Medicare policy changes. We will continue working closely with our State Medicare Advocate to engage with ASHA lobbyists, ask important questions, and advocate for the needs of Vermonters.
