Rep. Rob Mercuri (R-Allegheny) commended the recent passage of legislation he co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, aimed at supporting children who stutter.
House Bill 2268 seeks to provide insurance coverage for children aged 2-6 who have a stutter. While some private insurers may offer coverage for speech therapy, this support is often insufficient for the required treatment. Stuttering affects more than three million people nationwide.
"Our children have dreams, and doing what we can to support their dreams as they overcome challenges is worthy of action," said Mercuri. "I am grateful to see this bipartisan effort come to fruition."
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
