Reported byDisability Scoop ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is awarding $51 million to 28 health centers to expand dental care access for children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities, addressing long-reported struggles families face finding dentists equipped to support their children's specialized needs.
The funding will support expanding services and developing new models; the full reach and effectiveness across all communities will depend on implementation.
