PCS transition support
IEP review before the move, enrollment guidance for the new district, and advocacy to ensure comparable services from day one at the new school.
PCS transitions, EFMP enrollment, deployment cycles, IEP transfers from DoDEA. Years inside the Department of War Education Activity means I understand military family life from the inside — and I understand what it costs your kids.
You're staring down a PCS, and your child has an IEP that took years to get right. You need someone who understands the transfer process and how to advocate for continuity at the new school.
Your spouse is deploying, and your child is starting to show it at school. You need to bring the school into the picture without it becoming a record that follows your child for years.
You're moving back stateside from an overseas DoD school, and the local district is already telling you they don't honor everything in the IEP. You need someone who knows how that conversation should go.
You're trying to figure out whether to enroll in EFMP, what it actually does for your family, and what it might mean for your service member's assignments. You want a straight answer.
IEP review before the move, enrollment guidance for the new district, and advocacy to ensure comparable services from day one at the new school.
Years working inside the Department of War Education Activity. I know how DoD school IEPs are written, how they translate to public school IEPs, and where the gaps usually appear.
A straight conversation about what the Exceptional Family Member Program does, what it doesn't do, and whether enrolling makes sense for your family's situation.
How to talk to the school before, during, and after deployment. How to support your child through the cycle. What to ask for if regression starts to show.
Same comprehensive IEP review available to all families — with the added context of how your child's military life affects what the IEP needs to address.
Reading and math tutoring that travels with your family. Virtual sessions mean continuity even when the duty station changes.

Yes. Years working within the Department of War Education Activity (formerly DoDEA) provide deep familiarity with overseas DoD schools and the transition process when families return stateside. I know how DoDEA IEPs are written and where the gaps tend to appear when transferring to public schools.

This is the question I get most often, and the honest answer is that it doesn't work the way many families fear. EFMP affects assignments to make sure your family is sent somewhere that can support your child's needs — not to penalize the service member. Happy to walk through the details in a free consult.
Let's make sure your family has the special education support you need, wherever the next assignment takes you.
