The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) provides comprehensive support to Family members with special needs. EFMP takes an all-inclusive approach to coordinate military and civilian community, educational, medical, housing, and personnel services to help Soldiers and their Families with special needs.

An Exceptional Family Member is a Family member with any physical, emotional, developmental, or intellectual disorder that requires special treatment, therapy, education, training, or counseling, and meets the eligibility criteria.

Soldiers with Exceptional Family Members are required to register for EFMP and keep enrollment information current. This way, Family needs will be considered during the OCONUS assignments process.

If you’re eligible for EFMP services, Family members must be screened and enrolled when they accompany authorized Soldiers on OCONUS assignments. Screenings include medical records review for all Family members and developmental screening for all children aged 72 months and younger.

Click here to find an EFMP service near you.

Who must enroll in the program?

• Active Army
• U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) Soldiers in the Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Program
• Army National Guard (ARNG) AGR personnel serving under authority of 10 USC and 32 USC. Department of the Army civilian employees do not enroll in the program.

You must identify dependent children with special education and medically related service needs and Family members with medical needs each time they process for an assignment to a location outside the United States where Family member travel is authorized at government expense.

Psychological Assessment can serve a range of needs. The essential function of assessment, however, is to provide you with a clearer understanding of whether you have an emotional disorder, what that specific disorder might be, and what interventions might be recommended.

I see two different kinds of assessment engagements: diagnostic assessments and personality assessments.

Diagnostic assessments are the most common and serve simply to determine whether the client has any kind of emotional disturbance that could interfere with occupational functioning. This need arises in the context of applications for adoption, law enforcement/security work, and other role determinations. A typical engagement would entail one or two sessions of 1-1 interviewing plus administration of any indicated psychological tests (e.g. the MMPI).

Personality assessments are called on to gain a clearer picture of the dynamics underlying an obvious area of dysfunction. I practice personality assessment using a style known as Therapeutic Assessment (TA). TA is a powerful innovation in the assessment field.

A TA engagement begins with an agenda-setting meeting and is followed by 2-3 sessions of psychological testing using objective personality measures (e.g. the Personality Assessment Inventory, PAI or MMPI-2-RF) and projective measures (e.g. the Thematic Apperception Test, TAT or Rorschach Inkblot Method, RIM). The engagement produces a feedback letter summarizing the findings and recommendations discussed.

Ages 18+.

Click here to schedule a consultation.

The cost of an assessment engagement varies depending on your specific needs. Diagnostic assessments may run between $250-400 whereas personality assessments range from $800-1200. I would be able to offer an estimate after an initial meeting to discuss the scope of your needs.

In San Antonio, we run a private clinic out of our office. This allows parents, individuals, or organizations seeking to help a struggling learner access a team that normally would reside in a school. These services range from evaluations to therapy, and counseling. At the root of it, we seek to ensure that an individual can succeed at learning.

Learners come in all forms, preschool kids, school-aged kids, college students, adult students, and everyone in between. Learning applies to not only the school but also to the developmental tasks needed to flourish in our lives.

AIM Knows that not all learners can get support from a public school system, where the majority of this evaluation/therapy happens. We also know as many families turn to medical providers, there is a difference between the way learning issues are identified and treated in the medical world and the educational world. They speak different languages. Learners and their families are often caught in the middle. We built Spark Assessment Center for learners who couldn’t or wouldn’t use a school for testing and diagnosis. My, how times have changed. Now, a typical Spark customer visits the office for:

• Learning evaluations for private school students
• Autism evaluation
• ADHD evaluations
• Testing for communication disorders
• Updated testing for accommodations in college
• Testing for accommodations on things like SAT, MCAT, LSAT, etc
• IEEs
• Complex, overlapping issues or differential diagnosis - Is the issue - dyslexia or AD/HD? Is this depression or a learning disability?
• Further exploration of a medical diagnosis
