Met with EFMP people - a Department of Defence program that helps special needs military families deal with duty station assignments to ensure that the exceptional family member has access to adequate care.
I submitted paperwork and a letter from Wyatt's surgeon and geneticist regarding the care he would require. To see everything written on paper was overwhelming - there were 10 specialists listed.
I was told to research our top three preferences for bases and to write a letter to the officer in charge of duty station assignment. We are not guaranteed to get our first choice, but having enrolled in the EFMP should help our chances.
I found an amazing website called cleftAdvocate which listed each state's Cleft Palate Team and contact information. I sent an email to all of the teams we might be stationed near requesting further information.
