These changes have introduced locked funding periods within participant plans, meaning OTs and providers can no longer rely on full plan budgets being accessible up front. Instead, budgets are now broken into quarterly allocations, and unspent funds can only roll forward—not backward. The result? Increased admin, reduced therapy flexibility, and serious disruption to how assessments and supports are delivered.2025-05-2245 minOT Unplugged: Community of Practice InsightsS05E03 - From Mum Life to Mic Time: Prepping for the OT ConferenceIf you're interested in attending the OTA conference, click on the link below to take advantage of the Friends of the Podcast rate:
