"The Education Directory for Children With Special Needs
The Education Directory for Children With Special Needs provides military families with children with special needs the information they need to make informed assignment decisions and easier transitions.
The directory consists of two components:
The Early Intervention Directory focusing on early intervention services for children birth through 3 years old
The School-Age Directory focusing on education services for children with special needs, 3 through 21 years old
Both provide tools and resources to help with the transition to a new location. The Early Intervention Directory summarizes national and state level early intervention trends and includes descriptions of local early intervention service providers. The School-Age Directory summarizes national and state level trends for special education and includes descriptions of individual school districts"

Division of Special Education/
Early Intervention Services
The Division of Special Education/Early Intervention Services provides leadership, support and accountability for results to local school systems, public agencies and stakeholders through a seamless, comprehensive system of coordinated services to children and students with disabilities, birth through 21, and their families.
"The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law ensuring services to children with disabilities throughout the nation. IDEA governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities.
Infants and toddlers with disabilities (birth-2) and their families receive early intervention services under IDEA Part C. Children and youth (ages 3-21) receive special education and related services under IDEA Part B."
From birth to 5 years, your child should reach milestones in how he plays, learns, speaks, acts and moves. Track your child's development and act early if you have a concern.
Provides early intervention supports and services to infants and toddlers from birth through age 2 who are not developing as expected or who have a medical condition that can delay normal development.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have been challenging for US uniformed
service families and their children. Almost 60% of US service
members have family responsibilities. Approximately 2.3 million active
duty, National Guard, and Reserve service members have been
deployed since the beginning of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
(2001 and 2003, respectively), and almost half have deployed more
than once, some for up to 18 months' duration. Up to 2 million US
children have been exposed to a wartime deployment of a loved one
in the past 10 years. Many service members have returned from
combat deployments with symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder,
depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and traumatic brain injury. The
mental health and well-being of spouses, significant others, children
(and their friends), and extended family members of deployed service
members continues to be significantly challenged by the experiences
of wartime deployment as well as by combat mortality and morbidity.
The medical system of the Department of Defense provides health and
mental health services for active duty service members and their
families as well as activated National Guard and Reserve service
members and their families. In addition to military pediatricians
and civilian pediatricians employed by military treatment facilities,
nonmilitary general pediatricians care for >50% of children and
family members before, during, and after wartime deployments. This
clinical report is for all pediatricians, both active duty and civilian, to
aid in caring for children whose loved ones have been, are, or will be
deployed.
