Program Information

Early On is not one single "program." It's a collection of activities, supports, services, and resources provided by many programs such as:

  • schools
  • public health
  • mental health
  • social services
  • programs where children play and learn

It also is many people with different skills. These people want to work with you to help your child grow and learn.


What is Early On?

Early On is the name for Michigan's early intervention system. An early intervention system includes:

  • activities – things you do day-to-day or programs where your child can play and learn with others
  • supports – can be help, resources or information
  • services – when a trained professional works directly with your child or helps you learn how to support your child.

Early On can help your child with his or her development. A child's development is their process for growing and learning. It can also help your family to be better able to help your child grow and learn.

The Michigan early interventions system comes from a federal law called Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Part C of the IDEA law:

  • tells how each state needs to plan and provide their early intervention system
  • explains families' rights

What is Project Find?

Project Find provides information about special education programs and services and helps to arrange free screenings or evaluations to find out if a child is eligible for free, extra help from the public school system.

If a child you know is struggling in school or has a physical, emotional, behavioral, or communication problem that might prevent success in school, call Project Find of Berrien County. We're here to help.
