The Exceptional Advocate eNewsletter is here!
The Department of Defense Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is pleased to re-
lease the first issue of The Exceptional Advocate, a monthly electronic newsletter for military
families with special needs. Each month you will find articles, resources, tips, and news that
families can use to remain informed on a variety of topics.
It's back to school time again! With this in mind, we've included education-related articles to
assist families with school-aged children. Some of this month's topics include the following:
- How to communicate with teachers when your child has special needs
- An overview of The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
- The school liaison program and how it can help military children
transition between schools
- How installation programs are partnering to meet the fitness needs of
teens and young adults with special needs
Each month we feature activities for children on the "Kids Corner" page
which features the animated characters "Iman Advocate," and his dog,
"Watson." We hope you enjoy this issue and encourage you to share The
Exceptional Advocate via email and social networks to help distribute it to
the families in your community.
