November is Military Family Month.

This week, we salute our military families and children.

Moving once every three years, military families who have children with special needs face unique financial, medical, and legal issues.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will find information and resources to help military families locate programs, services, and supports to meet their needs.

Please don't hesitate to forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.
