Military Outreach

Military families  sacrifice alongside the military member and face unique challenges  such as deployment, frequent moves, and the additional demands of high Optempo. 

For those families who have children with disabilities receiving special education and related services, moving every 2-3 years is likely to negatively impact educational outcomes for their student. 

PEATC’s Military Outreach Specialists assist active duty, reservists, and retirees in becoming effective advocates  for their exceptional family members while navigating service in today’s military.
