- Mission:
The Fort Richardson Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) provides
advocacy and assistance to service members who have a family member with
special needs. Any family member who requires special medical or educational
services must be enrolled. Medical or educational needs that qualify for
enrollment include (but are not limited to) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, Asthma, Diabetes, Learning Disorders, Down Syndrome, and Mental
Illness, including treatment for anxiety or depression.
EFMP provides resources and referral to available community services,
support groups, education workshops, and recreational activities. EFMP
advocates on behalf of soldiers and families who may be experiencing
difficulty in obtaining the services they feel they need. We also have a
resource library with books and videos on a variety of topics that are
available for checkout.
It is a requirement that all family members obtain an re EFMP screening
prior to soldiers approval for family travel to Alaska. If you will be
PCSing to Alaska, contact the EFMP manager at your installation to initiate
the screening process.
Early Intervention Services: Our community is fortunate to have an early intervention program to serve
children ages birth to three years who are diagnosed with or at risk for
developmental delays. The program provides, speech, occupational, physical
therapy, and other services to eligible children. You do not need a referral
form to access this program.
On Post - For persons residing on Ft. Richardson, we offer special
educational classes and support groups available to meet your child's needs.
