| This page will help you be aware of help you can get through your local school system. We live in Michigan, but your state will have many comparable programs. In looking through the Michigan Department of Education site, you will find many avenues to explore. If you get stuck, just e-mail them. I have found them to be prompt in their responses to my questions. The "Early On" program can be quite helpful. This is a partnership between the Genesee Intermediate School District, Family Independence Agency, Genesee County Health Department, Parents, and other Community Agencies. Parts of the program are supported by funds provided by the Michigan Department of Education, Part C of IDEA, throught the Genesee County Interagency Coordinating Council. They can see to it you are provided help, no matter the age of your child. Remember: EARLY INTERVENTION IS CRUCIAL! I'd like to thank Ms. Fox for her patience in working with Jake and I. She has proven to be a valuable asset to us. She is a wonderful example of what is RIGHT about our public school system. Again, I must stress......this information is supplied as a supplement to help in your child's progress. It is not intended as a substitution for your responsibilities at home.
