Personnel arriving with an exceptional family
member should contact the Special Needs Identification Program (SNI), formerly
called the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP), office upon
arrival. The office is located in the Family Advocacy Clinic, Bldg
340, 702-653-3866. The SNI is designed to provide assistance to the
children and adult dependents of eligible military personnel. These
are individual cases and should be referred to SNI so that all services and
education may be coordinated for the inbound personnel. Dependents
who are emotionally, physically, mentally challenged are provided treatment
under this program. This assistance may be in the line of counseling,
special medical or educational assistance, and financial
assistance.
Military members with an exceptional family
member are required to enroll in the SNI.
The SNI maintains a listing of
on- and off-base resources to assist families with all areas of
need. For active-duty Air Force families, the Air Force Aid Society
may have funds available to assist with respite care - contact the SNI office
for additional information.
