These are the exact questions we’re hearing every day at Mission 139, and they’re why we created a free downloadable guide to help you understand what’s going on and how to stay prepared.
What’s in the Bill?
The “Big Beautiful Bill,” passed earlier this year, includes major changes to education, tax credits, and Medicaid—but not all of them are good news.
Here’s what you need to know:
No new funding for special education (IDEA)—despite growing need.
Tighter restrictions on Medicaid eligibility, which could affect access to therapies for children with disabilities.
Increased flexibility for states and school districts—meaning less federal oversight, and more variation in services.
Tax incentives and vouchers that may shift resources away from public education, without guaranteeing additional supports for students with unique learning needs.
What This Means for Families
This bill signals a shift in how services are delivered—and who gets access. While it may benefit some, it also introduces uncertainty and potential setbacks for families already navigating complex systems like IEPs, 504 plans, and Medicaid support.
If your child relies on speech therapy, occupational therapy, a 1:1 aide, or other support services, now is the time to:
✅ Revisit their education plan
✅ Strengthen your documentation
✅ Understand your rights
✅ Seek out alternative support options
