The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) provides assistance to military families with special needs. An exceptional family member can be a child, spouse, or a dependent parent who requires medical or educational services due to a physical, intellectual, or emotional need. Some examples of a special need would be allergies, asthma, autism, attention deficit disorder, cerebral palsy, dyslexia, depression, diabetes, and lupus, and other conditions that may not be listed. Enrollment in the EFMP is mandatory and structured to assign Marines to installations where their exceptional family member can receive needed care. The EFMP Manager provides assistance with enrollment, medical and educational resources, advocacy, workshops, respite care, and family support groups. Exceptional family member assistance is provided before, during, and after transitioning to a new duty station. The EFMP Case Manager provides assistance with enrollment, medical and educational resources, advocacy, respite care and more. The EFMP Education, Training and Outreach Specialist provides assistance with Command and family educational workshops, training, events, support groups, and resources. For more information on the program, contact the Education, Training and Outreach Specialist at (703) 693-5353. |
