The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs - School Age 5

The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs provides military families with children 

with special needs the information they need to make informed assignment decisions and 

easier transitions. 

The Education Directory consists of two components: 

• The Early Intervention Directory focusing on early intervention services for children 

birth-3 years old;

• The School Age Directory focusing on education services for children with special 

needs, 3-21 years of age. 

Both provide tools and resources to help with the transition to a new location. The Early 

Intervention Directory summarizes national and state level early intervention (EI) trends and 

includes descriptions of individual EI service providers. The School-Age Directory summarizes 

national and state level trends for special education and includes descriptions of individual 

school districts.

Children with Special Needs

Section 1: Suggested Uses

School-Age Directory (3-21)

Relocating to a new assignment and community can be exciting but also challenging, 

particularly for military families with children with special needs. The School-Age Directory will 

help you experience a smooth transition by providing practical suggestions and information 

about special education services. Included are 

• Tools for helping you and your child make the transition to a new school district 

(Section 2);

• Descriptions of each state’s special education system and related resources (Section 3);

• School district profiles and contact information (Section 4);

• Links to national resource agencies (Section 5);

• Summaries of national special education service trends (Section 5).

The fifteen states with the highest number of assigned military personnel are profiled in the 

Directory and services for children identified with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Emotional/

Behavior Disorders (E/BD), and Intellectual Disabilities (ID) were emphasized. However, the 

suggestions and tools included here will assist all families with children with special needs 

transferring to any domestic location. The Directory supplements information available at 

MILITARY HOMEFRONT’s EFMP page (http://www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil/tf/efmp). 

Suggested Use of the Directory

The Directory is organized to help you quickly obtain the information you need to make 

decisions for your child with special needs. The Directory will enable you to

1. Use the Tools for a Smooth Transition in Section 2 to minimize the impact of relocation;

2. Review the special education systems and resources in each of the 15 states; 

3. Identify and learn about the school districts that serve domestic military installations;

4. Understand national issues facing special education in general and ASD, E/BD, and ID 

specifically;

5. Access additional resources, including those specifically designed for military families.

Limitations on Use of the Directory

When using the Directory, please keep in mind that:

1. The information was collected from a wide range of sources. Although accuracy was a 

priority, the most current information will come from contacting the new district directly. 

Tools to assist you are provided in Section 2: Tools for a Smooth Transition. 

2. The interventions listed in the school district profiles are meant only to describe services 

they are currently providing and do not guarantee a child will receive a particular 

intervention. Services are individually determined by the Individualized Education 

Program (IEP) Team, including the child’s parents

Section 2: Tools for a Smooth Transition 

Preparing for Your Move 

Below are suggestions for making the transition to a new school district easier for your child, 

your family, and the district staff. Remember, you are your child’s best support. A courteous 

but persistent approach is usually most effective. To help track your activities and progress, a 

reproducible checklist of the steps below is provided in Appendix A for your convenience.

Suggestions to Consider Before You Leave Your Current Location:

1. Review general information about your new location at MilitaryHOMEFRONT’s Military 

Installations page (http://www.militaryinstallations.dod.mil/). 

2. Notify your current service coordinator that you will be leaving and where you will be 

going so he/she can begin preparing for your transition.

3. Use a 3-ring binder or other type of notebook to organize your child’s records and other 

pertinent information.

4. Make sure that you have paper copies of your child’s:

• Most recent transcripts and grade reports;

• Most recent eligibility reports where your child was determined eligible for special 

education;

• Current and past individual education programs (IEP), including quarterly progress 

reports;

• Special education assessment reports, including:

• School psychology;

• Occupational or physical therapy;

• Speech-language pathology;

• Other reports contained in the special education file.

• Names of particular textbooks or other materials that were effective for your child;

• Medical reports; 

• If applicable, reports from service providers not connected to school, such as a private 

therapist;

• Inoculation records to ensure your child can be enrolled on arrival;

• Prescriptions for medications and dosages.

5. Ask your child’s classroom and/or special education teacher to write a brief narrative 

about your child’s current educational program that you can share with the staff at your 

child’s new school. A convenient reproducible form you can use is provided in Appendix A. 

6. Keep the name and contact information (phone, e-mail) of your child’s current teacher in 
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs - School Age 8

case you have questions after you or the staff at your new school have questions;

7. Use the information provided in Section 4: School District Profiles to identify and learn 

more about districts that serve your new location;

8. Contact the special education director in the school district to which you are considering 

moving to learn specific information about the programs they provide. A list of sample 

questions is provided below.

9. Provide the staff at your child’s current school the contact information (phone, e-mail) of a 

contact person at your child’s new school to facilitate the transfer of information;

10. Contact the Educational Liaison and Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Family 

Support staff at your new installation to learn more about the school district. A list of 

sample questions is provided below.

11. Whenever you talk with someone regarding your child’s transition to a new district, it is 

helpful to write down the time, date, and person to whom you spoke, as well as some 

brief notes. A reproducible worksheet developed by the National Dissemination Center for 

Children with Disabilities (NICHCY) is included in Appendix A for your convenience.

12. If you are moving during the summer, try to contact your new school district at least 2 

weeks before you arrive to help ensure that preparations have been made to implement 

your child’s program before the first day of school.

13. Review your educational rights under IDEA. You should have received a copy of your 

rights from your current school, but you can also request a copy at any time. A general 

description of these rights is provided by the Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent 

Centers (http://www.taalliance.org/publications/pdfs/all17.pdf).

Tips for Contacting Districts & EFMP Family 

Support Staff

It is strongly recommended that you contact your new school district and EFMP Family 

Support staff as soon as possible. Below are some suggestions to keep in mind when preparing 

for these conversations.

1. Take some time to prepare. Write down questions you want to ask and the information 

you want to be sure to get (e.g., contact information). Sample questions are provided 

in this section. You may want to discuss the questions with school district and military 

support staff prior to making the contacts to see if other questions might be useful.

2. Identify the parts of your child’s current educational program that you think are effective 

and those that are not, so that you can share them with the new district. The transition 

process is an opportunity to create an even more effective program for your child. 

3. When you contact the new school district, ask to speak to the special education 

department. Once connected, ask to speak to the special education director. The 

administrative assistants who answer the phones are usually very helpful and will help 

you get to the right person. Contact information for each district in the 50 states and the 

District of Columbia is provided in Section 4.

4. When you contact the district, it is helpful to document the time, date, and person 

to whom you spoke in your records. It is also a good idea to write down some brief 

notes about the conversation. A reproducible worksheet developed by the National 

Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities (NICHCY) is included in Appendix A for 

your convenience.

5. A courteous but assertive communication style is usually most effective. You will have 

many conversations with school staff so maintaining effective communication is a priority. 

Making requests rather than demands and being open to the school district’s input will 

be helpful. Try to avoid becoming overly frustrated or emotional, and instead focus on 

working with the district to create an effective program for your child.

Sample Questions to Ask School Districts

Below are examples of questions you may want to ask when contacting your child’s new school 

district. When calling a school district in regards to services for your son or daughter, you will 

typically ask to speak to the special education department. Once connected, you should ask to 

speak to the special education director. Remember to jot down some notes on the convenient 

worksheet provided in Appendix A.

Section 4: School District Profiles

This section includes profiles of individual school districts that serve military installations in 

each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The profiles are organized by states in 

alphabetical order and provide the following information:

1. Contact Information for the District

2. Total and Disability-Specific Enrollment;

3. Types of Educational Services Provided;

4. Types of Post-Secondary Transition Services Provided;

5. Family Resources available in the district;

6. District Access to Board Certified Behavior Analyst (if applicable);

7. Military Installations Served by the District.

The information presented in the district profiles was obtained through a voluntary survey 

of school districts conducted in the summer of 2013. For categories where districts did 

not provide a response or where district enrollment figures were less than 10 students, No 

response provided is inserted. Although accuracy was a priority, the most current information 

will come from contacting the new district directly. Section 2: Tools for a Smooth Transition 

contains information and suggestions to assist you in contacting the district.

Please note that the interventions listed in the school district profiles are meant only to describe 

services they are currently providing and do not guarantee a child will receive a particular 

intervention. Services are individually determined by the Individualized Education Program 

(IEP) Team, including the child’s parents.

Section 5: Trends & Resources

National Trends

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Definitions: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) 

lists autism under pervasive developmental disorders (PDD). Diagnosis is based on deficits 

in Social Impairment, Speech/Communication Deficit, and Repetitive Behaviors & Restricted 

Interests. The IDEA definition is relatively broad but incorporates the same components (see 

http://nichcy.org/disability/specific/autism). DSM-V will be published in 2013 and will amend 

the ASD definition (see DSM http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevision/Pages/proposedrevision.

aspx?rid=94.)

Prevalence: The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) reported an ASD prevalence 

rate of 1 child per 110 children based on 2006 data. A 2007 study using the same data 

estimated a rate of 1 in 91. Males are 3-4 times more frequently identified than females. 

Siblings of children with ASD are much more likely to be diagnosed than their peers without 

such siblings. The number of military-connected children with ASD is not publicly documented 

although the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) reported a ratio of 1 in 88 based on 

its review of 2005 data obtained from the DoD. The 2010 IDEA federal child count reported 

419,262 children with ASD ages 3-21; an 87% increase since 2005. ASD is now the 5th largest 

disability category. Students with ASD account for 6.4% of all children with disabilities and 

0.85% of all school children. 

Educational Services: The National Professional Development Center for ASD (NPDCASD), the 

National Autism Center (NAC), and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMMS) 

have developed lists of evidence-based practices for ASD (see Appendix B). Applied Behavior 

Analysis (ABA) is the most extensively researched intervention. ABA’s effectiveness for deficits 

such as speech/language delays and generalization of skills has been questioned. Proponents 

counter that ABA is effective when properly planned and implemented. Teacher training 

requirements for ASD continue to be reviewed. Delaware, for example, now requires teachers 

assisting children with ASD to have an ASD endorsement. 

Outcomes: Limited data on post-school outcomes for children with ASD is available but 

it appears that relatively few individuals with ASD live independently or sustain full-time 

employment. Similarly, few attend and even fewer complete post-secondary programs. As 

with all disabilities, effective secondary transition planning is critical.
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs - School Age 359

Emotional/Behavior Disorder (E/BD)

Definitions: DSM-IV-TR does not categorically define E/BD, but does define associated 

conditions (i.e. anxiety disorder, depression/bi-polar disorders). IDEA’s definition (see http://

nichcy.org/disability/specific/emotionaldisturbance) focuses on five domains and does not 

require a clinical diagnosis. The phrases long period of time and to a marked degree are 

subjective but frequently operationalized as occurring for at least 6 months and across multiple 

settings (i.e. school, home, community). 

Prevalence: The 2010 IDEA federal child count reported 387,556 children ages 3-21 identified 

with E/BD; a decrease of 18.3% since 2005. Children with E/BD account for approximately 6% 

of students with disabilities and 0.8% of all school-age students. Some researchers suggest this 

is statistically low and should be closer to 3%-6% of all students. Males are more frequently 

referred and identified than females. Children from under-represented populations and 

families with low SES are more likely to be identified than their White peers. 

Outcomes: Students with E/BD experience few positive educational outcomes. While their 

reading and math skills are frequently closer to grade level than peers with other disabilities, 

they frequently earn lower grades (14% earned mostly D’s and F’s compared to 8% for other 

disabilities). A significant number experience learning disabilities resulting in a cycle of both 

academic and emotional deficits contributing to overall school failure. Students with E/BD 

demonstrate a high dropout rate (55%) and few (20%) pursued post-secondary education. 

Only 30% were employed within three years of leaving school; much lower than the rate for 

students with learning disabilities. Students with E/BD are more likely to become involved 

with the legal system. 

Educational Services: Both individual and school-wide interventions, such as Positive Behavior 

Support (PBS), are often used to assist students with behavioral concerns. Assistive Technology 

(AT) tools ranging from low to high tech (checksheets to Wii systems) are often used as 

instructional tools or rewards/reinforcers. 
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs - School Age 360

Intellectual Disabilities (ID)

Definitions: The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) 

defines intellectual disability as “...characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual 

functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. 

This disability originates before the age of 18.” This is similar to the IDEA definition (see 

http://nichcy.org/disability/specific/intellectual#idea). Adaptive behavior domains include 

communication, self-care, social skills, etc. Until Rosa’s Law (see www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/

BILLS-111s2781enr/pdf/BILLS-111s2781enr.pdf) was enacted in 2010, the term mental 

retardation (MR) was used in IDEA and by some states. The change to intellectual disability 

represents, for many, a paradigm shift that emphasizes the fit between a student’s capacities 

and the demands placed on them, as well as the supports the student requires for selfdetermination. 

Prevalence: The IDEA 2010 federal child count reported 457,286 children ages 3-21 identified 

with ID; a decrease of 19.5% since 2005. Children with ID account for approximately 7% 

of students with disabilities and 1% of all school-age students. Males are more frequently 

identified than females and children from under-represented populations and from families 

with low SES are more likely to be identified than their White peers. 

Outcomes: Students identified with ID demonstrate limited educational achievement. Only a 

small percentage enrolls in post-secondary education programs. Employment is low with only 

31% employed three years after leaving high school. Wages were generally low suggesting that 

this population may be under-employed. Relatively low rates of community participation and 

independent living were also reported. 

Educational Services: Educational programs for students with ID have historically emphasized 

functional skill development and were often provided in segregated special education settings. 

While many believe functional skills are important, data increasingly suggests that students 

with ID demonstrate improved academic achievement when provided quality instruction 

using general education curricular materials in the general education classroom. Similarly, 

data suggests that students with ID can be successful in post-secondary education settings. 

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Post-Secondary Education (OPE) has established 

the Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) program to promote 

enrollment. 

EBPs for students with ID include ABA, Instructional Matching, Functional Communication, and 

self-management strategies. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and incorporating 

assistive technology (computer-based learning, I-PADS, Wii’s) are also being promoted. 

Effective secondary transition planning is critical. 
The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs - School Age 361

Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs)

Definition: Both the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation and IDEA 04 encourage the use 

of EBPs but do not define them. Researchers have attempted to develop EBP criteria, but 

conducting special education research is difficult due to the

• number of IDEA disability categories; 

• wide range of prevalence rates among disability categories; 

• variability of student needs; and 

• variability of educational settings. 

Another challenge is creating guidelines for determining whether the research supporting 

a practice is sufficient. The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and the What Works 

Clearinghouse (WWC) have created widely-cited guidelines and lists of EBPs. 

Use of EBPs: The extent to which EBPs are used in classrooms is unclear. One factor is 

whether EBP information and resources are readily available to teachers. Another is whether 

EBP materials (i.e. manuals, forms) are designed to allow teachers to implement EBPs easily 

given their time constraints. To increase usage, many suggest EBP content must be further 

embedded into pre-service/in-service teacher preparation programs. Organizations such 

as the WWC and the National Professional Development Center for ASD (NPDCASD) have 

developed EBP training modules and supports to encourage usage. 

Eclectic Approach: Teachers often use components of interventions to create a student’s IEP. 

Critics suggest this eclectic approach results in no intervention being implemented as designed, 

which reduces its effectiveness. They further question whether school personnel have 

received sufficient training to implement multiple practices. Proponents suggest this approach 

allows school staff to create programs to meet each student’s individual needs. 

Secondary Transition: The National Secondary Transition Technical Assistance Center (NSSTAC) 

rates secondary transition practices as being evidence-based, research-based, promising, 

and unestablished in order of rigor. They have also organized EBPs according to the skill level 

being emphasized such as functional life skills or community participation, many of which are 

functional and very specific (i.e. purchasing skills).

picture of a desired item to a 

communicative partner in exchange 

for the item.

Pivotal Response Treatment (0- 16)

Focuses on targeting “pivotal” 

behavioral areas - such 

as motivation to engage in

effective intervention by enhancing 

four pivotal variables: motivation, 

responding to multiple cues, selfmanagement, and self- initiations.

Response Interruption and 

Redirection

(EC- MH)

RIR contains two main components: 

(1) response interruption and (2) 

redirection. During the response 

interruption component of the

stop the learner from engaging in 

the interfering behavior. Redirection, 

the second component of the 

intervention, focuses on prompting 

the learner to engage in a more 

appropriate, alternative behavior.

These interventions involve 

promoting independence 

by teaching individuals 

with ASD to regulate their 

behavior by recording the 

occurrence/nonoccurrence

skills groups typically involve small 

groups of two to eight individuals 

with disabilities and a teacher or 

adult facilitator. Most social skill 

group meetings include instruction, 

role- playing or practice, and 

feedback ...

Social Skills Package (0- 16)

These interventions seek to 

build social interaction skills 

by targeting basic responses 

(e.g., eye contact, name 

response) to complex social
