Mission PROMISE: Navigating Special Education for Military Families
In this episode, our host, Mary Monrose, speaks with guest Blair Matsumoto, the Legal Assistance EFMP Attorney for Navy Region Southwest, which encompasses navy installations in San Diego County, El Centro, Ventura, Lemoore, Seal Beach, China Lake, Monterey, and Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada. He is an active licensed attorney in California with inactive law licenses in Maryland and Washington, D.C. Mr. Matsumoto has extensive experience in higher education and education law. He was in the general counsel’s office for DC Public schools, served as outside counsel for public and charter schools, and was a full-time professor and Director of Bar Preparation and Academic Success for a law school in California. He feels privileged to be able to assist military families with special education and disability-related challenges and looks forward to growing the EFMP Special Education Program so that it can serve Naval families with special needs dependents wherever enlisted and officer personnel are stationed in service of our great nation.
