Exceptional
Family Member Program
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) program ensures
that the needs of the exceptional family member are taken into
consideration throughout the change of assignment process. These
needs may include physical, emotional, developmental and medical
components. Staff are trained to assist military members in the
enrollment process and provide information on local military and
community support programs.
A family member with special needs warrants a certain lifestyle,
sacrifice and rewards. The Exceptional Family Member Program
staff is dedicated to ensure that all Marine and Navy families
who have a special need family member are provided with information
and resources necessary to assist families. The EFMP can not accomplish
this task alone. We need your help. We need your input in order
to create a program that incorporates the real issues of concern.
No one can help us achieve this better than those who endure the
lifestyle.
The Special Needs Information & Support Network meets on
the 4th Monday of each month from 1830-2030 at the ASYMCA. The Support Group provides an
opportunity for families to network informally and to receive
valuable training on special needs issues. Childcare is provided.
