I am a Family Member navigating a recent diagnosis.

Beginning the special education evaluation process requires parents to understand special education law while trying to obtain services and supports for their child. 

Obtaining an official diagnosis is the first step in getting your child the help they need.

Not all diagnoses are eligible for an IEP, for some a 504 Plan helps provide appropriate accommodations for their child’s unique needs.

Is your child’s current behavior related to a recent deployment or is there something else happening?

This series examined how military families can separate fact from fiction when navigating the unique needs of their children.
