Welcome!
With a population of 1.5 million active duty military members, each day around the globe, there are an estimated 540,000 active duty sponsors each caring for a family member with special medical or educational needs. STOMP is the only National Parent Training and Information Center for military families providing support and advice to military parents without regard of the type of medical condition their child has.
Parents of children with special needs face many challenges. Service in the military compounds the problems of: anxiety and isolation, financial stresses, navigating services and lack of information. Our hope is to provide family members with a connection to others and information by bridging the gap as we seek to empower individuals. Our commitment is to provide training, information and support so that you may be the best advocate for yourself and family members. With this blog, we hope to share our experiences, stories, tips and information about the challenges we face and the joys of having special needs family members. By sharing in our hopes and dreams, gaining support from others that have walked this same path, we can better see the light at the end of the tunnel and that the future is bright.
Respectfully,
The STOMP Staff
