SPECIAL EDUCATION
Department Address:  3316 Bender Rd, Middleville, MI  49333

Thornapple Kellogg School District, in cooperation with Kent Intermediate School District, provides a continuum of special education programs and services to students from birth to age 26 who are eligible under the Individual with Disabilities Education Act.  Programs include early childhood programming, resource programs, and categorical classrooms.  We also provide services such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, hearing consultants, vision consultants, and school social work.
CHILD FIND
Child find is an obligation for public schools that ensures that all students who need additional support through an IEP or a Section 504 plan be identified, located, and evaluated. Child Find offers evaluations, at no charge, to children suspected of having a disability. Early intervention is very important to your child's development. If you are concerned about your child's development, please call our office at 269-795-5571.
