Rock Island Arsenal Exceptional Family Member Program

The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a mandatory enrollment program that works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive, housing, community support, and personnel services to families with special needs.

An exceptional family member is a family member (child or adult) with any physical, emotional, developmental, or intellectual special need (to include autism) that requires special treatment, therapy, education, training, or counseling. The family members must be dependent enrolled in DEERS to be enrolled in the EFMP.

Enrollment allows the assignment managers at Army personnel agencies to consider the documented medical and special education needs of exceptional family members in the assignment process. When possible, soldiers are assigned to an area where the medical and special education needs of their exceptional family member can be met. This will depend on a valid personnel requirement for the soldier's grade, specialty and eligibility for the tour. All soldiers are still eligible for worldwide assignments.

The EFMP Coordinator at ACS offers information, referral and support services. These include information contained in our book, video and magazine library as well as up to date internet information. They can provide information about local and national organizations that may provide additional information and support. EFMP also offers adult social opportunities and year round activities to include the entire family.
