Our Profession. Our Voice.
The DATA + DOLLARS initiative is our profession's collective effort to secure the future of Speech-Language Pathology through verifiable evidence and sustained advocacy funding.
What are we asking for?
CMS relies on accurate cost-survey data to determine reimbursement rates. Currently, our profession lacks the centralized, audited data needed to challenge outdated cost assumptions. Private SLP practices submitted their numbers to help us build a defense against cuts and a case for fair valuation. Now we need your help to submit the DATA to CMS.
DOLLARS: Help us build the evidence.
Advocacy requires resources. Donations fund professional economic analysis, legislative lobbying, and large-scale public awareness campaigns that put the value of SLP services front and center for policymakers.
