Tell Congress to Fully Fund Disability Services

Congress is making decisions right now about next year’s budget, and important disability services are at risk of being cut.

Will you join us in asking Congress to protect programs that millions of people with disabilities and their families rely on?

Take Action Today!

These programs, Defend rights and prevent abuse, Support kids with disabilities in school, Provide early intervention services for young children, and Train teachers, counselors, and other providers to deliver quality services and support

Losing this funding would hurt families across the country. It would weaken disability protections and close doors to opportunities in every state.

The good news?

Congress pays attention when enough people raise their concerns. That means your action matters.

Living with pain is challenging, but you have options. Medicare covers many services to help you manage pain safely and effectively, including physical and occupational therapy, chiropractic services, acupuncture, and chronic pain management programs.

You can better control pain if you address it early. Work with your doctor to create the right treatment plan for you. Along with Medicare-covered services, your doctor might also suggest things like meditation, tai chi, or yoga.
