Public Act 256 requires an annual report regarding the language and literacy development of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and age 5 or younger as compared to their peers, beginning on July 1, 2026, and by July 1 of each year thereafter. Annual reports are linked below.
This year was defined by extensive research, planning, preparation, and early implementation efforts. The work of the LEAD-K advisory committee, in collaboration with invested partners, has resulted in the development of a dynamic parent resource and collection of recommended assessments. Furthermore, 2025 was a year of learning and training for early intervention and school personnel. In the coming year, the Michigan Department of Education will continue to support Michigan early intervention and school personnel in collecting data on language outcomes by offering targeted training opportunities and support on the use of the recommended assessments.
