Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) Coordinator
Information and Referral Services for Special Needs

The goal of the Exceptional Family Member Program (Information and Referral) is to provide special needs families with the most accurate and up-to-date information and resources regarding the EFMP, local resources/supports, disability-specific news and anything that may be of interest to the families.
