Summary
Alaska’s infant learning program, a lifesaver for babies and toddlers with developmental delays, is poised for major expansion after lawmakers passed a key funding bill—this time hoping the governor won’t veto it again. Free therapy from birth to age three has already transformed lives, with nearly half of participants avoiding special education later. The new bill lowers eligibility thresholds to catch kids sooner, before delays worsen—capitalizing on critical early brain development. Advocates say it’s not just about helping kids walk or talk, but saving families money and ensuring Alaska’s youngest thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
