Special Education Resources for Parents

The School District is required, by law, to locate, identify and evaluate all children with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools located within the School District, as well as homeless children. The process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities is known as Child Find.

Child find extends both to children who may be eligible for special education under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and those who may be eligible under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). 

If you believe your child may qualify under either IDEA or Section 504, please contact the Special Education department at 734-759-6015.

The Wayne County Parent Advisory Committee (WCPAC) serves as an information source for parents in the community. Neighboring school districts' participate and the WCPAC is a an opportunity to network with others.
