Child Find
The goal of Early On Public Awareness is to generate and build awareness about Michigan's early intervention system and resources that may be available to families who have concerns about the development of their child(ren).
Early On Michigan has a statewide referral process. Referrals are taken over the phone or online at the 1800earlyon.org website.
Child Find is a continuous process of public awareness activities, screening, and evaluation designed to locate, identify, and refer as early as possible all young children with disabilities and their families whare are in need of early intervention services and supports. In Michigan, Child Find for Early On is supported through the 'Don't Worry. But don't wait' campaign and 1800earlyon.org website.
