Contact information for key programs and services at this installation.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, requires states and territories to provide early intervention and special education services to eligible children and young adults. Early intervention services, or EIS, are available for children from birth to 3 years old, and special education services are available to children from 3 to 21 years old. Installation EFMP Family Support providers can provide specific information and resources for these services.
All states and territories must provide early intervention services to children who have, or are at risk for having, developmental delays, from birth to their third birthday.
Most CONUS locations, local school districts or health departments provide these early intervention services. The program is called different names in different areas, but it is often referred to as Part C because that is the section of the law that pertains to early intervention. The Education Directory for Children with Special Needs has a list of resources specific to each state to help you determine who you should contact. Your installation EFMP Family Support provider can also answer your questions.
If you are moving OCONUS or to a CONUS location with a DODEA school (and you live on installation), your child will receive EIS through the Defense Department’s Educational and Developmental Intervention Services, or EDIS, program.
When moving, you should hand carry copies of your child's most current individual family service plan, or IFSP, and the most current evaluation reports to your new home to ensure they are not lost.
All states and territories provide special education and related services to eligible children between the ages of 3 through 21.
When a child transfers to a different district in the same state, the new school must provide a free, appropriate public education, including comparable services, until the previously held IEP is adopted or a new one is developed and implemented. When a child transfers to another state, the receiving school must provide comparable services until an IEP review can determine if a new evaluation or IEP is appropriate.
If you are moving and your child receives special education and related services, you should hand carry all necessary school and medical documents, including the most current IEP and current evaluation reports. Hand carrying these documents ensures that they are not lost and allows the new school to begin the process as soon as you arrive.
Special Education
When a family member is identified with a special medical and/or educational need, the special needs are documented through the enrollment in the Exceptional Family Member Program- Medical (EFMP-M). EFMP-M ensures that the family member's documented medical and educational needs are considered during the overseas screening process. In DoDEA, special education and related services are available to eligible students, ages 3 through 21 years of age. Services can vary greatly from location to location so it is important that your child's educational information be reviewed prior to any overseas assignment. To ensure that the appropriate services are in place to meet your child's needs, please contact your EFMP-M Coordinator at your local Air Force Medical Treatment Facility to begin the family travel screening process.
Special Education Records
Once your child's educational information has been reviewed and overseas travel has been approved, parents should hand-carry all pertinent school documents to include their children's Individualized Education Program (IEP) and current testing and evaluation reports to their new location. For additional special education and relocation information please refer to the DoDEA homepage at
Exceptional Family Member Program- Medical (EFMP-M)
Exceptional Family Member Program- Medical (EFMP-M) identifies and assists Air Force families having special medical, psychological, or educational needs. If a need is identified, enrollment into the program is mandatory for active-duty members of all services. EFMP-M also provides counseling, referral, resource information and assistance with special assignment considerations.
All family members of active-duty Air Force that have a special needs requirements are required to be enrolled in the special needs program. Families should check in with the EFMP-M shortly after arriving.
If you have a family member with any type of special medical or educational needs and you are not enrolled in EFMP, we strongly suggest you contact them immediately upon notification of orders. Arriving overseas and finding out the services or programs your family member needs do not exist makes things difficult for everyone. In such situations you and your family could be returned to the states, resulting in severe financial difficulty.
Contact EFMP-M at DSN 314-452-8137 or 314-452-3107 for additional information.
