Think Differently Database Act

S 4174, the Think Differently Database Act, establishes a publicly accessible online database within the Department of Health and Human Services to connect people with intellectual disabilities, their caregivers, and families with local resources. The database will include searchable information on community-based services, healthcare access (including mental health), and long-term support services available under Medicaid programs, organized by ZIP code. It requires the Secretary to promote awareness of this resource and allows using the existing website thinkdifferently.net as a model for the new system. The bill directly affects individuals with intellectual disabilities and their support networks by centralizing access to existing services without creating new programs or funding.
