Podcast: Mission PROMISE: Navigating Special Education for Military Families

Partners in PROMISE hosts the podcast, Mission PROMISE: Navigating Special Education for Military Families.

Our data show that Military children in special education (SPED) experience significant delays in receiving services in public schools, compounded by frequent moves.*
* 77% of families went without SPED services for 60 days after a move
* 23 months - average number of months military children wait from identification to receiving SPED services
* Informed families are more likely to have access to the services they need.

Mission PROMISE educates military families searching for resources and guidance to navigate special education and the military's Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP). We strive to reach the community with resources and information in a widely varied manner, and this podcast is one way to share information with families and decision-makers.
