Military helps families find care for special-needs kids - washingtonpost.com
This is nice for Army and Marine Corps families. If you are a Navy family you have to do it on your own. Each family has to interview schools in the new district on their own and ask questions about programs that may or may not be available from district to district.

All questions will be answered the same way, no matter where we go: "All of our schools are equipped to handle all kinds of disabilities. Your child will be fine at any of our schools.'

This is always the answer but not the reality b/c not all schools have personnel who can teach kids who struggle with reading, writing and math output along with other conditions such as attention and social deficits. Often, moving from place to place is what causes some of the underlying conditions, especially anxiety.
