CHILDREN WITH
SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS
We love our kids with special needs – and
make every effort to include them in CYS ac-
tivities and programs.
To do that, every installation convenes a
Multi-disciplinary Inclusion Action Team
(MIAT), which explores child care and youth
supervision options for children and youth
with special needs, including life-threaten-
ing conditions, functional limitations and
diagnosed behavioral/psychological condi-
tions.
The MIAT recommends child care and youth
placement. It also determines reasonable
accommodations and availability of services
to support a child/youth's special needs.
