Which category of the Exceptional Family Member program is intended for families with special needs?

The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is designed to provide support to military families with members who have special needs. Category 2 specifically addresses families requiring assistance due to a diagnosis of moderate medical or educational needs. This category encompasses those who may need more specialized support but do not require the extensive services outlined in higher categories. Providing this designation ensures that families receive the necessary resources and assistance while accommodating their unique circumstances, thus facilitating smoother relocations and transitions within the military environment. This focus on moderate-level needs is essential for families needing support but who are not categorized as having severe disabilities or conditions.
