The Department of Defense established the Exceptional Family Member Program to recognize and meet the unique needs of military families with special needs dependents. The M&FRC has a dedicated EFMP-Family Support Specialist on staff to help families discover local resources, accessing EFMP sponsored activities, navigating the educational and medical system, accessing information, and ultimately getting your family’s unique needs met. The staff is also available for one-on-one consultation as needed.

EFMP may assist with:

• Enrollment and family-support guidance

• Medical and educational resource navigation

• Special education and school liaison support

• Assignment coordination considerations

• Respite care, child care, and community resources

• Transition support during PCS moves

• Information, referrals, and advocacy resources
