The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs This guide 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.
