STOMP
STOMP (Specialized Training of Military Parents) is a federally funded Parent Training and Information (PTI) Center established to assist military families who have children with special education or health needs. STOMP began in 1985, it is a project of Washington PAVE, and is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
The staff of the STOMP Project are parents of children who have disabilities and have experience in raising their children in military communities and traveling with their spouses to different locations.
STOMP serves families in four main ways:
- By providing information and training about Laws, regulations and resources for military families of children with disabilities
- By connecting families to other families
- By assisting parents and professionals in developing their own community parent education/support group
- By providing a voice to raise awareness of issues faced by military families of children with disabilities.
For military families of children with disabilities, STOMP is a one-stop shop for information and training regarding special education and other resources. STOMP is proud to be a Project of Washington PAVE, a grass roots parent-directed organization. This is a powerful combination that brings together:
- Expert, comprehensive knowledge on disability/ special education laws, rights, regulations and responsibilities as they pertain to military families
- A wealth of personal experience, network of personal contacts
- A parent driven approach
This combination allows STOMP to deliver training information and to facilitate empowerment beyond our resources.
