ALT Payment plus payment policy update. Proposed Head Start standard changes could impact audiologists and SLPs. Hearing screenings communication access and services for young children could be affected. ASHA Advocacy.

ALT What's happening? HHS has proposed rescinding and replacing the Head Start Program Performance Standards. Head Start serves children from birth to age five from low income families and is an important setting for identifying and addressing hearing and communication needs. The Head Start Act's statutory requirements would remain in effect. ASHA Advocacy.

ALT Hearing screenings. Hearing screening requirements would be less specific. The proposal would rescind one three zero two point three three and remove explicit references to hearing and vision screenings from the standards. The Head Start Act would still require screenings but programs would have more flexibility in timing and processes. Less explicit guidance could lead to fewer hearing screenings. ASHA Advocacy.

ALT All education in English. All education would need to be in English. The proposal would require programs to conduct all education in English with an exemption for tribal programs when the language furthers tribal heritage. Children who are not assessed in their home language could be misidentified as having communication disorders. The English directive could be interpreted locally to restrict multilingual AAC assessment intervention or access to interpretation and translation. ASHA believes supports must reflect each child's and family's communication needs. ASHA Advocacy.
