Listserv for Early On Families in Michigan
The Parent Involvement Committee of the Michigan Interagency Coordinating Council (MICC) is pleased to announce a listserv for Early On families in Michigan. The listserv will be open to families who currently have children in Early On, or whose children are “graduates” of Early On. The intent is to provide a forum for parents to connect with each other, share experiences, and mentor one another. It will be a “closed” list, meaning participants will have to provide information to verify that they have a child with a developmental delay or a medical diagnosis associated with a developmental delay. Members of the Parent Involvement Committee will moderate the listserv to ensure postings are appropriate.
If you are interested in joining the listserv, the listserv address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/earlyonmifamilies.
Michigan Directory of Service Providers for Infants, Toddlers, and Students with Disabilities 2011
The directory is intended for parents, educators, and other service providers seeking resource information related to the educational needs of children, students, and clients. The directory contains contact information about resources for children ages birth to three with special needs and their families (Michigan's Early On population) and students ages 3-26 with disabilities. Listings include special education and Early On administrative personnel in local and intermediate school districts (ISDs), specialized schools, and public school academies (charter schools). The directory is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all personnel, but instead provides basic contact information for administrators and others who provide services to infants, toddlers, and students with disabilities. The directory also contains contact information for the Michigan Department of Education, Michigan Department of Corrections, Michigan Department of Community Health, Michigan Department of Human Services, Michigan local public health departments, neonatal intensive care units, and Michigan and national agencies, associations, and organizations.
