I'm thrilled to be participating again this year, along with my amazing family and awesome colleagues at the Insurance Resource Center. We are a unique resource helping thousands of families each year, and it’s estimated that each hour of our assistance enables individuals with autism and behavioral health needs to access over $10,000 of treatments.

Navigating the complexities of health insurance is challenging for everyone. For families affected by autism and/or dealing with behavioral health crises, the challenges are significantly greater, and often overwhelming. Exacerbating these stresses are the upcoming eligibility changes in 2027 from the Federal “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act. As a trusted resource for accurate information and individualized technical assistance, our Center will play a critical role in helping families maintain coverage and access to the essential services and supports they rely on.

I am so proud of the incredible programs and resources we provide and our commitment to never charging fees to access any of them. Your contributions will help ensure that we can sustain the resources that our community so greatly depends upon.
