This article from North Carolina Public Radio highlights the many problems military families have with navigating schooling and health care for their disabled children.
“Advocates say military families with disabled children often face problems like those when they move from place to place. Their new district or state might not offer the same services as their old one.”
“Though initiatives like the School Liaison Program and the Exceptional Family Member Program exist to support families with medical and educational transitions, the Defense Department is limited in what it can do to help families with special education disputes. There is no statutory role for the department in determining a child’s eligibility for special education services. That’s mostly up to the Department of Education, states, and school districts.”
