proposed budget cuts. SAY NO!
Updates/News
There is a current proposal to limit RETH and MUTH hours to 6 hours per month or 24 units. Get Rec'd is working with other local agencies to ensure that our clients' voices are heard. This is not in the best interest of the clients we serve.
We need to take action and send emails to ensure that RETH and MUTH hours are not drastically changed. Write an email in support of those who can’t!

Tell Indiana BDDS NO! Inform them that restricting RETH and MUTH to 6 hours a month does not allow for client choice.
1. CALLING ALL FAMILIES, PROVIDERS & ADVOCATES!
Send your emails! Send them as often as you are able!
2. What to Include in Your Recreation Therapy Testimony:
3. Reference the official Indiana Medicaid definition under 460 IAC 6-3-43:
“Recreation Therapy is a medically approved recreational program designed to restore, remediate, or rehabilitate an individual to:
• Improve their functioning and independence,
• Reduce or eliminate the effects of their disability.”
4. Share personal or professional experiences showing how RETH services:
• Support daily living and functional skills
• Foster independence through community-based engagement
• Address behavioral, emotional, and physical challenges
5. Make it personal. Make it powerful. Make it count.
Say no to capping reth/muth hours
One of the best parts of the waiver is that clients have a choice. By telling individuals who receive waiver services that they can only have 6 hours of recreational therapy and 6 hours of music therapy a month, it is not giving clients a choice.
Setting rules
Indiana Medicaid definition under 460 IAC 6-3-43:

• Reduce or eliminate the effects of their disability.”
WE NEED YOU!
We’re calling on YOU to stand up for individual choice and protect access to Recreational Therapy for Indiana Medicaid waiver recipients.
A proposed cap threatens essential services that support independence, mental health, and quality of life.
Tell your elected officials that you want choice!
