In Michigan we know that
education begins at birth. We
also know that some of our
children need extra help or
related services along the way.
That’s why Michigan’s special
education system helps
children from birth to 26 years
of age.
Some children and youth
have more difficulty learning
than others. They may have
physical, emotional, or
communication difficulties that
prevent them from learning.
Project Find provides a referral
to special education services
through Michigan’s public
schools.
If you know of a child or
youth who is struggling with
learning, call Project Find
Michigan at (800) 252-0052.
