The South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has delayed the changes that were proposed! We do not have additional details at this time, but we are pausing our petiton that was previously posted. We sincerely thank you for your support and for advocating for our most vulnerable population—our children! 💕

🚨 Attention South Carolina Families 🚨

Big changes are coming to South Carolina Medicaid (including TEFRA and BABYNET) beginning January 1, 2026 — and they could deeply impact therapy services for children.

What’s changing?

Medicaid plans to move Speech Therapy from a timed code to a per-session rate.

Why it matters:

60-minute sessions would be reimbursed at 40% less than they are now.

To stay sustainable, clinics would have to shorten sessions to 30 minutes — meaning less therapy per visit and more frequent appointments for families.

Every visit would also require pre-authorization, adding major administrative burdens and costs on businesses and therapists already handling prescriptions, documentation, and progress reports.

What we’re asking for:
Please sign our petition urging the SC Department of Health and Human Services to:
1️⃣ Pause these proposed changes
2️⃣ Reconsider the new reimbursement model
3️⃣ Include families, providers, and therapists in the decision-making process

AND

📞 Contact South Carolina Medicaid and your local state representatives to voice your concerns and share how these changes would affect your family.

💙 Our children are our most vulnerable population — and they deserve access to the care they need. Let’s advocate for them together.

We know that some activities can be a challenge for our kiddos—sometimes these activities are considered “non-preferred”. But what if we could shift how we see these activities? 🤔  
 
Here are a few ways to rethink them and help your child engage with more confidence: 
 
1. Opportunities for Growth📈 
Instead of viewing a non-preferred activity as a hurdle, see it as a chance to develop new skills! It’s about expanding comfort zones and building resilience, one step at a time.  
 
2. Small Wins Lead to Big Wins🏆 
Start with small, achievable steps! Breaking down a task into manageable pieces can create a sense of accomplishment and build momentum.  
 
3. Collaboration is Key 🔑  
Sometimes, doing these tasks together makes all the difference! Your involvement shows your child that they’re not alone in the process.

from the SLP crew❕No drama, just reading Llama Llama Red Pajama 🦙❤️ 
 
Shared interactive book reading 📖 is a fun way to build language while connecting with emotions. The rhymes in the story support phonological awareness, the repetition gives children confidence to join in, and the story allows kids to talk about feelings like worry, fear, and comfort. Asking simple questions such as “How does Llama feel?” or “What do you do when you miss Mom?” helps kids practice expressive language, expand emotional vocabulary, and strengthen social communication.
