PCS Orders, New State, Same Fight — How Kaz Helps Military Families Stay Grounded

Military families face enough stress during a PCS. Kaz helps make special education transitions easier — no matter which state you’re headed to next.

If you’re in a military family, you know what it means to move — and move fast.

New base. New school. New therapists. New everything.

And if your child has a disability or needs support at school, every PCS move means starting over — again and again.

That’s hard enough with housing and healthcare. But with special education, it gets even messier.

Each State, a Whole New Set of Rules

The federal law (IDEA) is the same everywhere, but how each state applies it? Totally different.

One state uses "ARD," another calls it just "IEP."

Timelines change. Paperwork changes. Services available can change too.

And when you’re new to town — and don’t have connections yet — figuring out how to get your child’s needs met becomes just one more mountain to climb.

You’re Already Carrying So Much. Kaz Can Carry This Part.

That’s why I built Kaz — a tool that helps parents navigate special education, no matter what state they’re in.

Whether you’re moving from Virginia to Texas, California to North Carolina, or anywhere in between, Kaz keeps you grounded.

Kaz adjusts based on your location.

It knows what acronyms your new state uses.

It tells you what timelines apply for evaluations or services.

It gives you plain-language support to understand your rights — and your child’s — right where you are.

24/7, No Matter Where You’re Stationed

Military life doesn’t follow a 9–5 schedule.

Kaz doesn’t either.

Whether you’re on base, in temporary lodging, or trying to advocate from overseas — Kaz is in your pocket.

On your phone. On your schedule. No appointment needed.

You Don’t Have to Start From Scratch Every Time

Kaz helps you:

- Understand the special education process in your new state

- Prepare for IEP or 504 meetings

- Know what questions to ask your new school

- Write strong, clear messages that show you know your rights

- Feel confident advocating, even in a brand new system

Because your child deserves consistency — even if your zip code keeps changing.

You Serve. You Move. You Adjust.

Kaz Helps You Stay Steady.

Military families already sacrifice so much.

Advocating for your child shouldn’t come with extra confusion every time you unpack boxes in a new district.

Kaz was built to travel with you — to every state, every district, every step of the way.

Wherever you go, Kaz goes too.
