In this installment in the Child Care and Military Families Series, explore serving military families who have a child with special needs.
The presenters will provide two key perspectives:
1) understanding from the family's perspective the experience of having a child with a disability in the context of military life; and
2) understanding the benefits, challenges and responsibilities of inclusion from a child care program perspective.
