Text-Only Version STOMP Information Resources Using this Site E-mail: rfullerton@washingtonpave.com Welcome Download STOMP brochure Download STOMP brochure in Spanish With a population of 1.5 million active duty military members, each day around the globe, there are an estimated 540,000 active duty sponsors each caring for a family member with special medical or educational needs. STOMP is the only National Parent Training and Information Center for military families providing support and advice to military parents without regard of the type of medical condition their child has. Parents of children with special needs face many challenges: Feelings of isolation and anxiety. Difficulty navigating disjointed services. Severe financial worries. Inadequate information. These challenges are compounded when the family concerned is military. While all military families face certain challenges such as frequent PCS moves/military member being placed in harm's way/deployments, our families with special needs family members face additional difficulties, for example: Continuity in provision of IEP services from state to state or from state to DODDS/DDESS (no legal obligation to implement current IEP from another state) Availability of military member during IEP meetings/ medical treatments/procedures Finding specialists/physicians who will take TRICARE (military health entitlement program) Re-establishing relationships with key medical and educational personnel Re-establishing eligibility for community resources to assist child and facing waiting lists for services needed

138. My Little Boy Needs Your Help Help sought with special schooling for a young boy with dyslexia. http://www.fumblingthru.com/

My Little Boy Needs Your Help Hi :-) These are my twin boys, Ruben and Robert, the joy, the heart, and the soul of my life. Aren't they beautiful? As much as I want to meet their needs, I'm up against a wall these days and I'm asking for your help. Ruben's the one in front. When he began first grade, he was a happy, secure, kind-hearted boy; eager to please. Has your school experience ever taken that away from you? Ruben's smile gradually turned to worry, he grew frightfully thin, he began crying every morning, begging to stay home. His teacher frequently indicated her frustration with his slow writing pace. She began sending unfinished class work home for him to complete, along with his regular homework. She wondered how he could be such a bright boy, yet so SLOW to do his work! I did what I could to be a buffer between Ruben and the school while I gave the public school system some time to process his case, but by mid-March they still hadn't done anything. By then, he was telling me he wished he had no ears so he wouldn't hear what people said about him. He would hug me before bed time and say, "Mommy, I'm sorry I'm so slow." It broke my heart. I gave up and got him tested myself. The Neurologist cost me $5000.00! The poor boy has Dyslexia. He also now has Acute Anxiety Disorder.
