Insurance coverage for therapies that help a person get back skills they lost due to an illness, injury, or medical event. For example, speech therapy for an adult relearning how to speak after a stroke is rehabilitative. (Note: Insurance companies frequently have different rules and limits for habilitative vs. rehabilitative care!)

My passion lies in advocating for those who are not able to do so for themselves, leveraging my diverse background – both personally and professionally – to make a meaningful impact in the field of special education and child development.
