Essential Question: How do we make speech and language intervention available, or at least advocate for its availability, through the use of federal funding for those unable or their lack of insurance?

Foundation Questions:

1. What are the statistics on persons who have been denied speech and language service, or who have received service and are unable to pay, due to inability to pay or lack of insurance?

2. What criteria do hospitals and professional services look at when determining a persons ablility to pay upon receiving services?

3. What legal routes need to be taken to ensure proper implementation of such a program?

4. What federal funding is available to professionals for them to provide intervention to 100% of all people who require speech therapy?

5. If such people recieve service and have insurance, what do insurance companies look at in order to provide payment?
