Your Path Forward: Early Support for a Bright Future

Learning that your child is deaf or hard of hearing can bring many questions and emotions, but you are not alone—and you are in the right place. This website is here to provide you with information and resources for the journey. Some sections may be most useful now, while others might become more relevant as your child grows, so come back and visit often.

The goal of LEAD-K Michigan is to help you create language- and literacy-rich early experiences to ensure your child has a strong foundation of language and is ready for kindergarten and beyond. Your child has a bright and exciting future ahead!
