Over the years many Navy families have used the 1987 edition of "Children with Special Needs: A Navy Parent Handbook." Parents have referred to it as the "peach book" because of the color of its cover. This new Handbook has been written to update the "peach book" with changes in the laws and regulations governing special education, and with new program and opportunities for Navy families. It is written with the hope that you will find help for your very special family navigating through both the Navy world and the civilian world. Whether your Navy family is one that moves from base to base, or is one that is homesteaded and stays for a long time in a given place, you will find that the more you work to develop a good support system, the better life will be for yourself and your child. The Navy Family Service Center and the Exceptional Family Member Program, in most places, offer classes and groups in which you' can often find other families facing some of the same challenges you are working on. In addition, when you work as a partner with the people who are providing services to you and your child, you will add to your support group.

According to the CDC “about one in six, or about 15%, of children aged 3 through 17 years have one or more developmental disabilities,” such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, and learning disability. Intellectual disorders are characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills, impacting learning, reasoning, problem solving, and other cognitive processes. These disabilities originate before the age of 18 and continue across the life span. Developmental disorders are chronic disabilities that can be cognitive or physical or both. The disabilities appear before the age of 22 and are likely to progress across the lifespan. Some developmental disorders are largely physical issues, such as cerebral palsy or epilepsy. Some individuals may have a disorder that includes a physical and intellectual disability; for example, Down syndrome or fetal alcohol syndrome. Intellectual and developmental disorders are significant and growing issues that are studied across a number of disciplines. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Intellectual and Developmental Disorders is aimed at students interested in psychology, counseling, education, social work, psychiatry, health sciences, and more. This encyclopedia will provide an in-depth look at a wide range of disorders, alongside interventions, the latest research translated for an undergraduate audience, historical context, and assessment tools for higher-level students. We will take a truly interdisciplinary approach by also covering sociocultural viewpoints, policy implications, educational applications, ethical issues, and more.
