Special Needs Consultation

Consultants are professionals with master’s degrees and extensive experience in the disability field and are trained in military programs.

Consultants will complete a needs assessment and guide your family to the resources you requested or give you other options to consider.

Consultations can cover subjects including special education, the military health care system and TRICARE, special needs estate planning, support for adults with special needs, independent living options, veterans’ assistance, Medicaid, Social Security, secondary dependency and incapacitated adults, referrals to legal and financial resources, wellness support for caregivers and much more.

Active-duty, National Guard and reserve service members and eligible family members can obtain free, confidential, special needs consultations.

Military retirees and discharged service members (if discharged honorably) are eligible for services provided by Military OneSource, including special needs consultations, for up to 365 days after their retirement date, end of tour date or discharge date.

Some members of the Coast Guard, injured service members and family members, as well as individuals who are recently medically retired, are also eligible.
