Military Families: Great Resource for Special Needs Children and Their Families

In summary, there are a variety of resources available for special needs children in military families, including support groups, counseling services, educational programs, and recreational activities. These resources can be accessed through the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) or the TRICARE Extended Care Health Option (ECHO). Families with children on the autism spectrum can also receive specialized support through these programs, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and respite care. There are also financial assistance programs available for military families, such as the ECHO program which offers financial assistance for certain medical and educational services, and the EFMP program which provides reimbursement for relocation expenses. If families encounter difficulty accessing these resources, they can reach out to their installation's EFMP office

Hi. I just came across this organization, and I am very impressed so far with what I have seen.

They are a non-profit designed specifically to help military families with special needs children with moves, services, etc.

Use it if you need it, or pass it on to those you know who could use it.
