Bill funds free training for families of children with autism or developmental delays.
This bill would create a new program to offer free skills training to family caregivers of young children with autism or other developmental delays. The training would help caregivers improve their children's communication and daily living skills. It would also provide coping strategies for the caregivers. This aims to improve the well-being and inclusion of these children and their families.
If this bill becomes law, the Department of Health and Human Services would create a new pilot program. This program would authorize $10 million to be provided each budget year from 2026 to 2030. This funding would support grants for at least 25 organizations in at least 15 states. These organizations would then offer free, evidence-based training to family caregivers, helping them support their children and improve their own well-being.
