Parent Support and Education
At the current time there are three MAPs that provide support, information and resources to families whose children receive services from either early intervention or special education. (Resources include training opportunities.) A thorough involved process of redesign is currently underway. This process includes implementing a Product Assessment and Review Checklist to determine what resources currently are being shared with families. Nine focus groups of families across Michigan will take place in the next couple of months. The information learned from families about their needs will be compared to what is currently available. Future parent grant work will be focused on addressing the “gaps” and aligning these efforts with other MAPs.
Early On Public Awareness
Child find is a component of Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), implemented in Michigan as Early On Michigan, which requires states to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities, from birth to 3, who are in need of early intervention services. The Office of Innovative Projects at Clinton County Regional Educational Service Agency (CCRESA) is pleased to offer Early On Public Awareness (EOPA), to assist Michigan in meeting the child find requirements for Early On.
Early On Public Awareness is responsible for the implementation of a comprehensive public awareness plan, including: the statewide toll-free referral line; outreach to communities; material development and management of dissemination; and the Central Directory.
