Children with Special Needs: Educational Liaison/School Services

Moving with a special needs child can be smoother with some planning and communication. It is recommended that families with special needs children plan sufficiently prior to a PCS to ensure that all required services are available, prepared and in place prior to arrival at new duty station. It is very important that you hand-carry copies of any special education paperwork such as Individualized Education Program (IEP), evaluations, 504 plans, etc. IEPs should be current and not expired. Official special education records are transferred from school to school. However, parents should have copies of all significant special education records for their child. It is crucial that you hand carry special education records to the receiving school. Some parents withhold special education records because they are afraid of a perceived stigma associated with the term “Special Needs”. This places school personnel and your special needs student at a disadvantage when planning an appropriate educational program. Everyone’s goal is to create a successful learning environment for all students. Your child’s current up-to-date IEP will be honored at the new school upon arrival. After observation of your child the school may recommend to re-evaluate your child or renew the current IEP. If you have a child that is younger than the required age of school attendance and is at least 3 years old, he/she may still be eligible for services through the school district. Contact the school or the School Liaison Officer for details. (Scroll down to Preschool Services for Children with Disabilities.)

Volunteering: Volunteer Registration

The Army Volunteer Corps plays a crucial role in community involvement and development. Volunteers make a meaningful difference in the lives of Soldiers and their Families every day. Army Volunteer Corps is designed to help you find local volunteering opportunities with organizations that benefit the Army community and allows you to obtain ongoing training and advancement. The AVC has redefined volunteering within the Army. We embrace existing volunteer programs, unite all volunteers who support Soldiers and Families, including the Active Force, National Guard and Army Reserve, and formalize the Army’s commitment to volunteerism. No matter where people volunteer in the Army community, they usually want to contribute to Soldiers and their Family members. We recognize this common goal and want to help you find the right opportunity for you. Volunteering helps your community and helps you as well. When you participate with AVC, you’ll: - Gain a sense of satisfaction/achievement by meeting challenges - Learn about the Army, our sister services, and the community - Acquire new skills and/or expand old ones - Obtain work experience - Build new friendships and become a cohesive part of the community - For more information regarding employment, volunteering, or training opportunities please contact your ACS location!
