Medicaid Cuts, Red Tape, and What You Ca...

Megan Peveto M.S. CCC-SLP
About this episode

What Medicaid changes mean for providers—and how to support families without the drama.

In this episode, Megan is unpacking the real story behind the recent Medicaid changes—without the noise, drama, or clickbait. There's a good chance you've heard about Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and seen some intense headlines, but what does it actually mean for families and providers?

This episode isn’t about politics—it’s about people. We’re looking at both sides of the issue and exploring how to be steady and informed advocates as the system shifts.

Whether you're in early intervention, schools, or private practice, this episode will help you stay grounded and proactive as upcoming changes in Medicaid begin to roll out.
