Families Know their Rights and
Advocate Effectively for their
Children |

Early
On Michigan produces
the
Family Rights
Guidebook for
all families in
Early On. As
the parent of a
child who is
eligible for Early
On, you have rights.
These rights are the
checks and balances
that are built into
the Early On system
to help make sure
everything goes well
for your child and
family. |

Michigan
Alliance for
Families
provides
information,
support and
education to
families of
children and
adults with
disabilities
from birth
to age 26
who are in
the
educational
system. The
purpose of
the project
is to
increase the
involvement
of families
in their
children's
education
and the
educational
system in
general.
This new
approach to
serving
family
members and
young adults
is based on
the concept
that
everyone
involved in
education
needs to
have access
to the same
information,
learning and
leadership
opportunities,
yet be
connected to
each other.
