Share this page

President Joe Biden has signed the Think Differently Database Act, a new law requiring the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to create an online clearinghouse for resources tailored to individuals with disabilities and their families. The database will provide localized, searchable information on Medicaid services, health care, mental health care, and other critical supports.

The legislation aims to reduce barriers to care by offering streamlined access to reliable, community-specific resources.

ANCOR played a crucial role in its advancement, advocating for improved accessibility and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
