Guest guest Posted January 29, 2000 Report Share Posted January 29, 2000 Sorry to have taken so long to answer this. > It wasnt until we > moved to Connecticut that the military helped. A lot of it is knowing the proper red tape to go through and having the proper papers signed by the proper people and seeing they get to the proper person. It's often a very frustrating task. I have the gray hair to prove it! ;-) Have you seen my Military Resources page? http://www.listen-up.org/military.htm I also have a section on DOD schools: http://www.listen-up.org/rights.htm#dod After we arrived on station here and I went to all of the appropriate offices, the lady as EFMP must have realized how difficult it can sometimes be so she asked if she could give my number to parents of kids who have been newly identified as having a hearing loss, or who have just arrived on station to help them navigate through the system. I assume your child is now enrolled in Tricare PFPWD (Program for Persons with Disabilities)? If you have any specific questions or problem areas, please feel free to ask and I'll try to give you some ideas on how we got it solved. I'm honestly not sure which is worse, PFPWD or IEPs. This last week was the first time I've ever contacted PFPWD and the lady has actually been helpful. She said she wasn't supposed to replace something that's in for repairs but she would go ahead and authorize it anyway because she knew it was something our son shouldn't be without. Good luck!
