Coast Guard Special Needs Program
The Special Needs Program provides resources for Coast Guard family members that pertain to medical, psychological and physical conditions. Special needs can be broad and include conditions from asthma or allergies, to wheelchair use, or even the need for the creation of Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). This program ensures that members with dependents with special needs are assigned to duty stations most accessible to needed services.
