Special Education

In Michigan, eligible children, youth, and young adults may receive special education services from birth until 26 years of age. This is a unique piece to Michigan. Most states only provide services and/or supports until age 21.

To support this effort, Project Find Michigan conducts continuous public awareness and referral activities designed to locate, identify, and refer—as early as possible—all children, youth, and young adults with disabilities who may be eligible for special education service.

Here you will find information related to special education supports.
