PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE

LEN HARAC, PHD

New Beginnings EP Magazine’s aim is to reach the widest possible audience with our award-winning content – so please help us spread the word.

As we enter our 46th year of continued publication, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each one of you for your continued support of EP Magazine (Exceptional Parent), as well as for your advocacy and contributions to the special needs community. As EP’s new Publisher, I can assure that you will continue to receive only the best information to help your family have a better quality of life, and stories that will uplift and empower your loved ones. We will expand our efforts to reach out to more associations, professional organizations and advocacy groups through regular email and web-based outreach.

4 January 2017 • EP MAGAZINE | eparent.com

One of the biggest moves we’ve made in the last couple months, which will continue in the coming year, is open up EP Magazine for everyone with access to an electronic device. Our aim is to reach the widest possible audience with our awardwinning content—so please help us spread the word. We will also invite new contributing writers and associations to keep our editorial robust and relevant while maintaining EP’s popular columns like Rick Rader, MD’s Editor’s Desk, the AADMD, Puzzles & Camo, etc. In addition, we are planning to produce some printed copies and distribute them to pediatrician’s offices. It is our plan to reach thousands

more readers in early 2017 and greatly expand our circulation as the year unfolds. I am looking forward to working with you and making wonderful things happen for our families, caregivers, allied healthcare professionals and educators in the field— and, of course, all the men and women of our country’s brave and beloved Military. A happy, healthy and blessed 2017 to you! – Sincerely, Len Harac, PhD Publisher, EP Magazine •

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Face to Face The secret to the joys and rewards of supporting individuals with special needs is best shared by Dejan Stojanovic: “For a moment at least, be a smile on someone else’s face.”

When I was in college I always had two well-worn, dog-eared books close by. One was the Workshop Manual for my 1953 MG roadster which seemed to always announce that its most current ailment could be found somewhere in the 268 oil soiled pages. Finding it and fixing it were two different things. The other book was a 1940 first edition copy of Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler. Chandler was a British-American novelist and screenwriter who wrote detective stories featuring the Los Angeles private eye Philip Marlowe. I wasn’t necessarily a fan of what they called his style, “hardboiled, noir fiction,” but I kept the book because of one sentence. Marlowe is investigating a dead-end, missing person case and is in hot pursuit of

FACE VALUE: (Above, from left to right) Velma Valento as portrayed by Claire Trevor in the 1944 film; Helen of Troy by Evelyn de Morgan; da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and a Gerber baby food ad circa 1947. 6 January 2017 • EP MAGAZINE | eparent.com

Moose Malloy, a wanted felon. The gumshoe’s pursuit leads him to Malloy’s ex-girlfriend Velma Valento. Chandler describes Marlowe’s take on seeing Velma for the first time. “A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window.” I remember reading that line hundreds of times over. It clearly described a face that could probably never be forgotten. I wanted to find Velma or a version of her. I never found her, but I did keep that MG for 30 years. It’s amazing how compelling we find some faces to be. It’s certainly not a new phenomenon drummed up by Hollywood or Madison Avenue. Another killer line that described an unforgettable face came from the English playwright and drinking buddy of Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe. The line comes from his play The Tragic History of Dr. Faustus and accounts for one of the most famous lines in English literature,

“The face that launched a thousand ships.” The line describes Helen of Troy who, according to Homer’s The Iliad, was the wife of the king of Sparta. She was so beautiful that the Greek army went to Troy and fought the Trojan War to win her back from her lover Paris. Of course Helen’s face didn’t really launch any ships; the structure of the sentence is known as a metalepsis; a “stylish flourish that skips from X to Z, bypassing Y.” But from the depth of that sentence she might have given Velma a run for her money. Next on the hit parade of “mega-faces” is that belonging to an Italian girl named Lisa. Her husband Francesco commissioned a painting of her to display in their new home. Apparently the artist did a bang up job and captured her essence. Philip Cohen, writing in the journal The New Scientist describes just how effectively the artist raised the bar. “The subject’s expression, which is

IMAGES (L TO R) COURTESY PULP INTERNATIONAL; DE MORGAN FOUNDATION; WIKIPEDIA AND PZRSERVICES

frequently described as enigmatic, the monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the continuing fascination and study of the work.” Apparently the painting exceeded Francesco’s expectations. It has been described as “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world.” The painting of Lisa Gherardini is better known as the Mona Lisa and, to this day, how the artist Leonardo Da Vinci pulled it off without leaving any impression of visible brushstrokes still challenges art historians and scientists alike. Mehmet Murat Ildan, the Turkish playwright offers, “To have a meaningful look on your face, you need to have meaningful emotions deep inside you!” I’m not sure that in 1928, when the face of Ann Turner Cook was selected to launch a brand of baby food (not a thousand ships) that they were looking for a face that had “meaningful emotions deep inside.” They wanted a lovable, bright-eyed cherub of a baby; and they got one. At the suggestion of their pediatrician, Dorothy Gerber began making hand-strained food for their seven-month-old daughter Sally. Dorothy’s husband, Daniel Gerber, saw a promising business opportunity. Gerber Products became a major international company with more than 190 products in 80 countries, with labeling in 16 languages. Gerber is a major player controlling over 80 percent of the baby food market in the United States. Early on, Gerber held a contest to find a baby’s face to be the central figure in their marketing campaign. One of the submissions was a simple unfinished charcoal sketch of a neighbor’s baby. The artist, Dorothy Hope Smith, told Gerber that she would finish the drawing if she won. Despite competing with elaborate oil paintings the sketch was selected as the winning entry; with the insistence that Gerber would use the sketch

as it was submitted and not completed. The Gerber baby became one of the most recognizable faces in the world; yet the identity of the baby was kept secret for 40 years. In late November of this year Ann Taylor Cook, aka “The Gerber Baby,” turned 90 years old. She still has a face that puts her in the running with Velma, Helen and Lisa. When I leave my office at the Orange Grove Center and walk down the halls I see lots of faces. Faces that may not compel you to launch a fleet, kick a hole in a stained glass window, or stock up on pureed prunes. But they are compelling, inviting and unforgettable. They are those things because the individuals are those things. Karl Lagerfeld, one of the world leaders in design and beauty, recently shared the secret about modeling. “The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what’s needed by nature, and what’s needed is to bring something new.” The faces at Orange Grove are new. Day in and day out they offer all of us something new. Something new that we can discover in ourselves and hopefully provide to someone else. The secret to the joys and rewards of supporting individuals with special needs is best shared by Dejan Stojanovic: “For a moment at least, be a smile on someone else’s face.” Exceptional Parents have known that secret forever. •

“The faces – and the people – at the Orange Grove Center are compelling, inviting and unforgettable.”

National Resources for Specific Disabilities

THIS DIRECTORY INCLUDES NATIONAL GROUPS and organizations that can serve as resources for parents and professionals seeking information and support about specific disabilities and conditions. Please note that information on some specific disabilities may also be available from Federal and Federally-Funded Information Resources (see page 70 for additional listings), Parent to Parent Programs (see page 76), or certain National Information and Advocacy Resources (see page 61). Matching Resources may also be useful (see page 38). CROSS-REFERENCING Categories have been cross-referenced where appropriate. Many conditions are known by more than one name. Readers are directed to “see” other relevant category names where resources are also listed. (Under CHROMOSOME 4P-, for example, readers are referred to WOLF-HIRSCHHORN SYNDROME.) Some specific disabilities are not covered by a specific national organization. These conditions may be cross-referenced to a broader category that includes organizations that can provide helpful resources. (For example, the metabolic condition ARGINASE DEFICIENCY is cross-referenced to UREA CYCLE DISORDERS.) In some cases, the reader may be directed to a similar (but not identical) condition, when groups for that condition have indicated the ability and willingness to provide appropriate information and support. For example, 45,X SYNDROME is cross-referenced to TURNER’s SYNDROME and HYPOPIGMENTATION. In cases where resources are available for both a general category of disability (for example, VISUAL IMPAIRMENT) and specific conditions within that general category (for example, ALBINISM, GLAUCOMA, MACULAR DISEASES, RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA, RETINOBLASTOMA, SEPTO-OPTIC DYSPLASIA, and USHER SYNDROME), crossreferencing goes in two directions. Under VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS, for example, readers are informed of the types of visual impairments for which specific resources exist, and under each specific type of visual impairment, readers are referred to the more general category. In cases where one specific condition usually includes other conditions, but those other conditions do not necessarily include the first condition, cross-referencing goes in one direction only. For example, under LAURENCE-MOON-BARDET-BIEDL SYNDROME (LMBBS), readers are directed to “see also” KIDNEY DISORDERS and RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA, though neither of these conditions refer to LMBBS. This is because LMBBS typically includes kidney complications and retinitis pigmentosa, but a primary diagnosis of either one of these conditions does not typically include LMBBS. USING THIS DIRECTORY A description of services provided by individual groups follows each listing in this directory. Numbers correspond to items listed in the Key to Services, which appears on every other page. Some organizations offer advocacy and materials in other languages in addition to English. These languages are indicated after the list of services provided. When available, email addresses and Web sites have been included. Email addresses are indicated by the symbol . Unless otherwise indicated, all telephone numbers are for voice only. This directory is current as of December 2016.

FINDING THE RIGHT NEW TEAM BY ALLEN FRIEDLAND, MD, FACP, FAAP s a physician that has an interest in the care of young adults with special health care needs, I hear from patients and families all the time about how hard it is to find a physician that is willing, knowledgeable and accessible to be the primary care physician and/or be the specialist physician once a person with a complex history turns 18–21 years of age. In general, years have gone into developing a strong relationship to a physician or team of physicians and other professionals only to have to start again in many instances. This leaves patients and families vulnerable to the potential medical consequences of not having the right care (e.g. more hospitalizations, worsened diabetic control, more transplants lost) and the tremendous anxieties that go along with the process of finding the “right new team.”

A

CARE TO PLAN, PLAN TO CARE: Understanding the transition process is essential to ensure that physicians will meet the needs of special needs patients.

32 January 2017 • EP MAGAZINE | eparent.com

As a physician board certified in both internal medicine (care of adults) and pediatrics (care of children) or “Med-Peds,” I care for patients/families of all ages and all types of conditions and I am not alone. Physicians across the country (with the same and different backgrounds of training than I have) started to develop primary care and specialty practices to make this transition easier for those people with complicated conditions. I urge you to ask your current team for advice on where to look locally/regionally. It is not easy to do a web search to find these practices (wouldn’t that be nice). The process of getting ready to transition to adult care should not start right before the 18th or 21st birthday. It should start much earlier. By the ages of 12 – 14, the plans and skills needed

for this transition should begin to take hold. One great source of information on this is www.gottransition.org • ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Allen Friedland is a medicine/pediatrics doctor in Newark, Delaware and is affiliated with Christiana Care Hospital. He received his medical degree from University at Buffalo, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and has been in practice for more than 20 years, and is one of 15 doctors at Christiana Care Hospital who specialize in Medicine/Pediatrics.

Alliance for Technology Access

THE ALLIANCE FOR TECHNOLOGY ACCESS (ATA) The Alliance for Technology Access (ATA) is a national network of technology resource centers, community-based organizations, technology vendors, and individuals who are committed to increasing the use of technology by children and adults with disabilities and functional limitations. The mission of the ATA is to increase the use of technology by children and adults with disabilities and functional limitations. ATA encourages and facilitates the empowerment of people with disabilities to participate fully in their communities. Through public education, information and referral, capacity building in community organizations, and advocacy/policy efforts, the ATA enables millions of people to live, learn, work, define their futures, and achieve their dreams. ATA was conceived in 1983 by a group of parents and professionals in northern California in response to the needs of a five-year-old child with cerebral palsy who, it was believed, would benefit from the coming technology revolution. From this small group of parents, consumers, and professionals, the ATA has grown into one of the nation’s largest resources to help children and adults who have disabilities and functional limitations gain access to the benefits of assistive technology In 1987, the group was joined by a major technology company to form the Alliance for Technology Access, with 11 charter member resource centers in 10 states. In 1989, ATA was established as an independent nonprofit organization. All 41 nonprofit ATA Technology Resource Centers are operated through a collaboration of people with disabilities, family members, and professionals in related fields. All are barrier-free in architecture as well as in attitude, and are committed to providing services, information, and referrals for everyone who contacts them. ATA’s vendor members include companies who manufacture both mainstream and assistive technology. Associate members include a wide range of individuals and organizations who work in their own communities and seek ways to support ATA’s mission. Join ATA now and become part of this vital nationwide network with the most up-to-date information about assistive technology. Your membership will include a subscription to ATA’s listserv where you can read and participate in discussions about assistive technology. You can post questions yourself or help others who are looking for information. You also will be eligible for significant discounts on major assistive technology conferences and save up to 50% on registration fees. Most importantly, you will be connected to a network of valuable resources and people committed to increasing access to assistive technology for people with disabilities and functional limitations.

Matching Resources

THIS DIRECTORY OF MATCHING RESOURCES – both national and international – can help parents who have children with extremely rare conditions or unique combinations of disabilities. Others may be dealing with particular family situations such as single parenting, raising twins, or adoption. These networking organizations do parent-toparent matching based on children’s disabilities and, in some cases, other family situations. Most maintain ongoing contact with other groups worldwide. Unless otherwise noted, all services are provided free of charge. This directory is current as of December 2016.

Family-to-Family Health Information Centers

Family Voices, Inc. The mission of Family Voices is to ensure family-centered care for all children with special health care needs and disabilities. Family Voices provides families with resources to make informed decisions, advocates for improved public and private policies, builds partnerships among professionals and families, and serves as a trusted resource on health care. At the core of Family Voices are grassroots families supported by the Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) and State Affiliate Organizations (SAOs). National Family Voices is connected to individual families from whom we learn and to whom we can provide information. Family Voices representatives in each state and territory assist families with issues related to the health care of a child or youth with a special health care need or disability. Family Voices hosts the National Center for Family/Professional Partnerships, a project funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), that provides technical assistance and training to support the work of Familyto-Family Health Information Centers across the country in helping families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). More information is available at www.familyvoices.org, or www.fv-ncfpp.org, or by calling 1-888-835-5669. Family Voices State Affiliate Organizations (SAOs) SAO’s are nonprofit, family-led advocacy organizations committed to the mission, vision and principles of Family Voices. SAOs engage in systems change in their state and at the national level to improve the quality of health care for CYSHCN and their families. There are 45 SAOs nationwide. Most F2F HICs are also SAOs. Family-to-Family Health Information Centers (F2F HICs) F2F HICs are federally-designated, family-led and staffed organizations that assist families of CYSHCN and the professionals who serve them. F2F HICs provide support, information, resources, and training around health issues to directly assist families as well as to improve systems by providing guidance on health programs and policy. F2F HICs are uniquely able to help families because they are staffed by family members who have firsthand experience navigating the maze of health care services and programs for CYSHCN. This intimate understanding of the issues that families face when accessing care makes F2F HIC staff exceptionally qualified to help families navigate health systems and make informed decisions. Some F2F HICs are independent nonprofits; others are part of collaborative nonprofit organizations or state agencies. All F2F HICs have a strong commitment to and expertise about CYSHCN. How are F2F HICs Funded? The F2F HIC grant program was established in all States and the District of Columbia by authorization of the Family Opportunity Act (part of the Deficit Reduction Act, 2005) and funding has been extended by subsequent laws through FY 2017. Grants are administered through a competitive grant process by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HRSA, MCHB, Division of Services for Children with Special Health Needs. Each F2F HIC is awarded approximately $95,700 annually. How do F2F HICs help? Each F2F HIC is unique, reflecting the needs and character of the community and state that it serves. Organizational structure, locations, partnerships, and specific initiatives may vary. However, all F2F HICs provide: • Assistance to families and professionals in navigating health care systems • Information, education, training, support and referral services • Outreach to underserved/underrepresented populations • Guidance on health programs and policy • Collaboration with other F2F HICs, family groups, and professionals in efforts to improve services for CYSHCN • Evaluation and outcome assessment What are some of the typical questions that a parent or professional might ask a F2F HIC? • Is there a health insurance program that will pay for my child’s medical needs? How do I enroll? • How will the Affordable Care Act affect me?

• Medicaid has denied payment of some of my child’s services. What do I do now? • My child is very medically complicated. How can I best work with her doctors? • Where can I find a support group for families of children with my child’s disability? • How can you help us to develop a Family Advisory Committee at our hospital? • Do you have materials appropriate for our growing immigrant community? • We'd like to set up a family-faculty training program. Can you help? Family Voices Resources 1.

State Assistive Technology Programs

THE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ACT OF 1998, as amended (P.L. 108-364), provides funding to support grants to states throughout the U.S. and its territories for AT programs. The mission of the state AT programs is to get technology into the hands of those who need it so they can be more independent and improve functional capabilities to reach educational, life, and employment goals. What is Assistive Technology? The term "assistive technology" encompasses all technology used by people with disabilities to perform daily living activities that would otherwise be difficult, inaccessible, or impossible. An assistive technology device is defined as “any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.” The term assistive technology service means “any service that directly assists an individual with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device.” What Services Do the State AT Programs Provide? The 56 State Assistive Technology Act Programs conduct activities to expand access to technology for individuals with disabilities of all ages through comprehensive statewide programs. These activities include the following: • Support statewide financing systems for the purchase, lease, or other acquisition of AT devices and services. • Support device reutilization programs that provide for the exchange, repair, recycling, or other reutilization of AT devices. • Support device loan programs that provide for short-term loans of AT so that individuals can try out devices or fill a temporary need for a device. • Support device demonstration programs that demonstrate a variety of AT devices and services and provide information about vendors, providers, and repair services. • Provide training and technical assistance to promote access to assistive technology devices and services, including outreach support to individuals from under represented and rural populations. • Support public awareness designed to provide a statewide information and referral system related to the availability and benefits of assistive technology devices and services. Promote interagency coordination and collaboration with community-based organizations to improve access to assistive technology devices and services for individuals of all ages who experience a disability.

The Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health

THROUGHOUT AMERICA, THERE IS AN AWAKENED AWARENESS of the struggles, challenges, and untapped possibilities for children and adolescents with mental health needs. Effective, family-driven advocacy ensures that children’s mental health remains a highly visible, national priority. The Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health (www.ffcmh.org) serves, with humility and determination, to provide and sustain leadership for a broad and deep nationwide network of family-run organizations. The Federation harnesses the passion (and honors the cultural diversity) of the organization’s national membership and help focus it as a potent force for change on behalf of children with mental health needs and their families. The Federation is a passionate advocate at the national level for the rights of these children and families. The Federation is equally passionate in transferring insights and experiences to statewide family organizations, local chapters, and other family-run organizations so that skillful and effective advocacy can occur at state and local levels as well. The Federation extends a lifeline to this network so that partner organizations might draw strength from and, in turn, better respond to the needs of families requiring guidance, training, support, and personal advocacy. Through evolving relationships with these organizations, the Federation jointly discovers and shares new models, new technologies, new tools, and new visions that enrich the capacities of partners, strengthen the Federation network, and allow the Federation to serve with pride in this leadership role. HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY This directory includes the addresses and phone numbers of the chapters, state organizations, and partners. When available, email addresses are provided. Unless otherwise indicated, all telephone numbers are for voice only. State organizations are statewide, family-run organizations focused solely on the needs of children with mental health issues and their families. Chapters are local, family-run organizations with a similar focus. This directory is current as of December 2016.

State Protection and Advocacy Agencies (P&As) and the National Association of Protection & Advocacy Systems (NAPAS) STATE PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY AGENCIES (P&As) offices are federally mandated to provide legally-based advocacy services to people with disabilities in each state and territory. P&As primarily advocate on behalf of special education students through funds from two federal programs: Protection and Advocacy for People with Developmental Disabilities (PADD) and Protection and Advocacy for Individual Rights (PAIR). These two programs join four other programs: Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI), Protection and Advocacy for Assistive Technology (PAAT), Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS), Protection and Advocacy for Traumatic Brain Injury (PATBI), Protection and Advocacy for Voting Access (PAVA) and the Client Assistance Program (CAP) to complete the entire P&A system. P&As all over the country work on a variety of cases with common themes for people with disabilities, one of which is ensuring that children in special education are receiving the services to which they are entitled under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act IDEA. The P&A system provide a unique and effective resource for disability rights advocacy and education. People with disabilities, their family members, and representatives are encouraged to make use of these services. Consistent with available resources and priorities established by the community, P&As will make every effort to provide appropriate assistance to remedy the situation. For additional information about the P&ANetwork, including the location of all P&As nationwide, visit the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) website at www.ndrn.org or via email at [email protected].

University Affiliated Programs

The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) is a membership organization established 40 years ago to support and promote national networks of university-based interdisciplinary research, training and service centers and programs. These centers and programs serve and are located in every U.S. state and territory and are housed within a variety of university departments or medical centers. They serve as a bridge between the academic work of major universities and the day to day practical challenges facing individuals with disabilities and their families in communities across the country. The Centers and programs work within the higher education setting to bring the latest scientific findings and innovations to families and communities to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities. The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) Network members consist of: • 67 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD), funded by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) • 43 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) Programs funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) • 15 Eunice Kennedy Shriver Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Centers (IDDRC), funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Development (NICHD) UCEDDs: Since 1963, University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs) have been working to accomplish a shared vision that foresees a nation in which all Americans, including Americans with disabilities, participate fully in their communities. Independence, productivity, and community inclusion are key components of this vision. Sixty-seven UCEDDs in every state and territory are located in a university setting. Centers are in a unique position to facilitate the flow of disability-related information between community and university. UCEDDs work with people with disabilities, members of their families, state and local government agencies, and community providers in projects that provide training, technical assistance, service, research, and information sharing, with a focus on building the capacity of communities to sustain all their citizens. Centers have played key roles in every major disability initiative over the past four decades. Many issues, such as early intervention, health care, community-based services, inclusive and meaningful education, transition from school to work, employment, housing, assistive technology, and transportation have been directly benefited by the services, research, and training provided by UCEDDs. LENDs: Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) programs provide long-term, graduate level interdisciplinary training as well as interdisciplinary services and care. The purpose of the LEND training program is to improve the health of infants, children, and adolescents with disabilities. They accomplish this by preparing trainees from diverse professional disciplines to assume leadership roles in their respective fields and by insuring high levels of interdisciplinary clinical competence. LEND programs operate within a university system, usually as part of a UCEDD or children’s hospital, and collaborate with local university hospitals and/or health care centers. This set-up gives them the expert faculty, facilities, and other resources necessary to provide exceptional interdisciplinary training and services. The LENDs grew from the 1950s efforts of the Children’s Bureau (now the Maternal and Child Health Bureau) to identify children with disabilities as a Title V program priority. They are currently funded under the 2006 Combating Autism Act and are administered by the Health Resources and Service’s Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB). There are currently 43 LENDs in 37 states. IDDRCs: Established by Congress as “centers of excellence” for research in mental retardation and developmental disabilities, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers (IDDRCs) represent the nation’s first and foremost sustained effort to prevent and treat disabilities through biomedical and behavioral research. IDDRCs also contribute to the development and implementation of evidence-based practices by evaluating the effectiveness of biological, biochemical, and behavioral interventions; developing assistive technologies; and advancing prenatal diagnosis and newborn screening. IDDRCs receive funding through the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). There are 15 of these research centers across the country. These listings were provided by: the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD): 1100 Wayne Avenue, Suite 1000; Silver Spring, MD; 20910; (301) 588-8252, www.aucd.org. The Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) promotes and supports a national network of interdisciplinary centers on disabilities. The members of AUCD represent every U.S. state and territory and include 67 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs), 43 Interdisciplinary Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) Programs and 15 Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Centers (IDDRC). Together, these organizations advance policy and practice through research, education, leadership, and services for and with individuals with developmental and other disabilities, their families, and communities, in support of independence, productivity, and satisfying quality of life.

Parent Training & Information Centers (PTIs) and Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRCs)

Parent Centers: Resources for Families of Children with Disabilities: Families with a child who has a disability often need information about the disability of their child, about early intervention (for babies and toddlers), school services (for school-aged children), therapy, state and local policies, planning for life after high school and much more. Every state has at least one Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) to offer families just this kind of information. Many States also have a Community Parent Resource Center (CPRC), which offers the same type of support, resources and training for specific regions and/or underserved populations within a state. To find the Parent Center(s) in your state, go to http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center/ The Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) is charged with providing universal technical assistance to the 96 USDE-funded Parent Centers serving families with children with disabilities. Our resources are web-based and are specific to the identified needs of the Parent Centers. All of the materials on www.parentcenterhub.org are developed through federal funds and therefore in the public domain. Feel free to explore our resources. If you plan to use them, we only ask that you include a citation. The web address for attributing our material is www.parentcenterhub.org/nichcy-resources Current as of May 2016

“ As a mom, when you know better, you do better.” -Holly Robinson Peete

keep momming. Being a Mom means being the one person my daughter Ryan can count on. It’s just what I do. But when I noticed she was daydreaming often, having a hard time focusing on her homework, and struggling to focus during conversations with her friends, I was at a loss. So we went to Ryan’s doctor, and he diagnosed her with AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Turns out there are 3 types of ADHD (Inattentive, Hyperactive/ Impulsive, and Combined) and Ryan has Inattentive ADHD. Since inattentive symptoms like hers may be less noticeable than hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, it’s important that moms like me know what to look for. I’m so glad we found out what was going on. Sound familiar? Get the ADHD Symptom Checklist, then talk with your daughter’s doctor.

State Offices of Special Education

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE DIRECTORS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION (NASDSE) (www.nasdse.org) represents the state directors of special education in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Department of Defense Education Agency (DODEA), the federal territories and the Freely Associated States. NASDSE is a non-profit organization that was established in 1938 to promote and support education programs and related services for children and youth with disabilities in the United States and outlying areas. NASDSE accomplishes its goals by establishing and maintaining relations between those responsible for the development of statewide and federal special education programs and those responsible for general curriculum planning at the local, state and national levels. NASDSE activities are designed to provide professional support to its members and others interested in special education. NASDSE suggests parents contact the following people in the order listed if they are having a problem with their child’s education: (1) the child’s teacher; (2) the special education director in the school; and (3) the district’s special education coordinator. If the student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that is not being enforced and the above individuals are not helpful, the parent can contact the state education agency where a complaint can be filed. The National Association of State Directors of Special Education 225 Reinekers Lane Suite 420 Alexandria, VA 22314 (703) 519-3800 (703) 519-3808 (FAX) http://www.nasdse.org Please note: This list of state directors is updated on an ongoing basis.

Vocational Rehabilitation Programs

VOCATIONAL REHABIILTATION ASSISTS PEOPLE with disabilities in preparing for, beginning, and keeping employment. One of the oldest programs in which state funds are matched by federal funds, vocational rehabilitation began in 1920 with the passage of the Civilian Vocational Rehabilitation Act, which encouraged states to provide rehabilitation services to veterans with disabilities. Today, vocational rehabilitation programs operate under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its subsequent amendments. The following is a listing of state vocational rehabilitation services.

Americans with Disabilities Act Programs Disability Business Technical Assistance Centers The ADA National Network provides information, guidance and training on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), tailored to meet the needs of business, government and individuals at local, regional and national levels. The ADA National Network consists of ten regional ADA Centers located throughout the United States that provide local assistance to ensure that the ADA is implemented wherever possible. The Centers are not enforcement or regulatory agencies, but a helpful resource supporting the ADA's mission to “make it possible for everyone with a disability to live a life of freedom and equality.” Search for comprehensive ADA information, services, products, training and guidelines, or visit your regional ADA Center website for local events and support. Contact your regional ADA Center toll-free at: (800) 949-4232 (voice/TTY). Or contact your center through the web at www.adata.org. The Network is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research.

IT’S TIME FOR THAT NEW ASSIGNMENT. Because you have an exceptional family member, your family has been screened by the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) and the screening has indicated that care is available for your family at your new duty station. Orders are being published. What do you do now? You know one of the best sources of information about services for your family with special needs is the Exceptional Family Member Program manager at your new installation. You want to contact the Army Community Service and their EFMP manager. But, who is it? Exceptional Parent magazine has published a list of EFMP managers throughout the U.S. Army since the introduction of its military section in the EP 2007 Annual Resource Guide. This comprehensive list in the Resource Guide has helped Soldiers and spouses find the services they need to take better care of their families. Most of the time, the help is only a telephone call or letter away. Soldiers are sometimes assigned to an installation managed by another service. Who provides the assistance there? In 2008, EP expanded its coverage of Exceptional Family Member Program managers to include the managers of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. In the future, EP will continue to expand its coverage even further as more information becomes available. This military listing is important to all members of our uniformed Armed Forces because it provides the most current and accurate information available. It is particularly important to families. We know some families move away from their home installations during deployments and want to know where care is available. Sometimes care is available at the Coast

Guard Station down the road, the Marine Corps camp across town, or the Navy base in the city next door. Last year, the listing for the Army’s School Liaison Officers (SLOs) was added. We believe that School Liaison Officers serve the military family by providing a vital link between families of the installation and the local school district. SLOs can help parents overcome the obstacles to education that are a result of the military lifestyle and can serve as advocates for children with special needs. Southwest Asia has brought new challenges to Wounded Warriors as they begin the transition from the military healthcare system to the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. We added the VA medical centers and clinics in 2008 to ease that transition by providing the telephone numbers and addresses of the VA facility closest to home. We hope you take a copy of the Resource Guide with you as you travel from installation to installation or travel during that magic recovery time after a deployment. Ask your EFMP manager for a copy of the Pocket Resource Guide, too. It contains the same information as the full-size edition of the Resource Guide, with extra portability. The Pocket Resource Guide fits well in a suitcase or briefcase, and it always fits in your vehicle. Today and tomorrow, EP will continue to provide the opportunity for families to reach out to each other, share ideas and experiences, and break down the barriers brought on by the physical and emotional strains of caring for family members with special needs. All the listings are current from our military sources as of December 2016. If you find an error in any of our listings, please contact our military editor at [email protected]. Good luck on your new assignment!

United States Marine Corps

This listing for the United States Marine Corps is correct to the best of our knowledge, as of December 2016. We used the information provided by the Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Website (www.usmcmccs.org/efmp). For corrections or updates, please contact your local Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) manager. The USMC describes its program to assist with special needs in the following way (at www.usmc-mccs.org/efmp/ and www.usmc-mccs.org/efmp/familysupport.cfm): The content of the Headquarters U.S. Marine Corps EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program) Website has been developed in detail to assist Marines, their family members, Commands, EFMP Coordinators, and other professionals who have an interest in becoming more knowledgeable about the Exceptional Family Member Program and other resources and information that can be helpful to families with special medical or educational needs. You are invited to browse through the website to find information that will be of benefit to you, your family, your program, or your Marines. The Marine Corps recognizes and is particularly responsive to the needs of Marines, both Active Duty and Marine Corps Reservists, who have family members with special medical and/or education needs. Early enrollment in the EFMP is the Marine’s guarantee that the Marine Corps will do its best to match a Marine’s grade and occupational specialty with a location where the exceptional family member’s needs can be met. There are also other services that the EFMP offers that are designed to improve the quality of life for Marine Corps families with special needs. If there are changes or corrections, please contact our military editor of EP magazine at [email protected] The EFMP Program Managers in the listing below are arranged alphabetically by installation name.

This listing for the United States Navy is correct to the best of our knowledge as of July 2014. For corrections or updates, contact your Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) manager and ask that the information be reported to the Department of the Navy EFMP Program Manager. The Navy describes its program to assist with special needs in the following way (at www.npc.navy.mil/CommandSupport/ExceptionalFamilyMember/): The Navy’s Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to assist sailors by addressing the special needs of their exceptional family members (EFM) during the assignment process. Special needs include any special medical, dental, mental health, developmental or educational requirement, wheelchair accessibility, adaptive equipment or assistive technology devices and services. In the Navy EFM Program, the primary function is the PERSONNEL FUNCTION. The Navy EFMP Coordinators are located at the medical treatment facility, not at the Fleet and Family Support Centers (all Fleet and Family Support Centers have an EFMP liaison). The Navy EFMP Coordinators serve both Personnel and Family Support functions, but with an emphasis on the Personnel function. The offices in the listing below are arranged alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by city. Overseas offices are arranged by country and then by installation.

I had a complete meltdown with PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder). I thought I was losing my mind. I’d never been out of control before, and it was hard to admit I needed help, but I wanted my old self back. I’ve gotten that and more. I’m strong. I’m healthy.

Military

Soldier and Family Assistance Centers (SFACs) This listing for the United States Army’s Soldier and Family Assistance Centers (SFACs) is correct to the best of our knowledge as of December 2016. We used the information provided by our SFAC contact. The United States Department of the Army established Soldier and Family Assistance Centers to provide a central location for wounded Soldiers and their families to receive the comprehensive and varied services they need as Soldiers recover from their injuries and they and their families adapt to these changes in their lives. The My Army Life Too Website (myarmylifetoo.com) describes the program in the following way (at www.myarmylifetoo.com/ skins/malt/ default.aspx [choose the Virtual Soldier and Family Assistance Center link]): Wounded and injured Soldiers and their Families expect and deserve the very best care and leadership from America’s Army. The Wounded

Soldier and Family Hotline can be reached from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 1-800-984-8523. SFAC services will be tailored and responsive to the needs of the Warriors in Transition (WT) and their Families. Most services will be present in the SFAC location in order to maximize the convenience to the WTs and their Families. Other services requiring less than a full-time presence will be brought forward to the SFAC at designated times. Still other services will be provided through priority off-site appointments coordinated by the SFAC staff. SFAC sites will provide a warm, relaxed environment where Soldiers and their Families can gather to foster physical, spiritual, and mental healing. The locations in the listing below are listed alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by installation.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs This listing for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is correct to the best of our knowledge as of December 2016. We used the information available from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) (www.va.gov), in a booklet available at www1.va.gov/OPA/vadocs/current_benefits.asp. This booklet, Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents, offers the full listing of VA facilities and other important information for veterans. The list below reflects the healthcare facilities sites for veterans contained in the booklet. For corrections or updates, please contact the Department of Veterans Affairs. The information in the booklet notes: Patients should call the telephone numbers listed to obtain clinic hours of operation and services. The following symbols indicate that additional programs are available at medicalcenters: * for nursing-home care units; # for domiciliaries (Domiciliary care provides rehabilitative and long-term healthcare for veterans who require minimal medical care but do not need the skilled nursing services provided in nursing homes. A domiciliary also provides rehabilitative care for veterans who are homeless.) Please send address and telephone number updates or corrections to: Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents (80D) 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20420 The locations in the listing below are arranged alphabetically by state.
