🚨 BIG WIN for Families at Mann Learning Community & DPSCD! 🚨

In June 2025, a parent and I filed a state complaint with the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) against Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) and Mann Learning Community located at 19625 Elmira Street, Detroit, Michigan 48228.

MDE confirmed that the district failed to provide required special education services — and ordered a corrective action plan that benefits not just the child we were fighting for but all affected students at Mann Learning Community.

This means:
✅ Compensatory services (make-up time) for missed speech-language therapy
✅ Review of all student records to find who missed services
✅ Stronger procedures to ensure services and IEP timelines are met

📌 If your child missed services last year — or you need help with school enrollment or navigating the special education system — contact me:
📞 (313) 306-1401

Advocacy services are free of charge. If you’d like to help support this work so more families can be served, you’re welcome to provide a voluntary contribution.

💡 Struggling to get the support your child needs at school? You're not alone.
As a special education advocate, I specialize in helping families navigate the special education system with clarity and confidence.
🎒 Has your child been:
– Denied services?
– Sent home frequently?
– Falling behind academically or socially?
– Labeled as a “behavior problem” instead of being supported?
✨ You don’t have to fight this battle alone. Michigan Autism Academy offers:
✅ IEP/504 prep & meeting support
✅ Parent coaching & emotional guidance
✅ Tools to track services, request help, and communicate with schools
✅ Real understanding from someone who’s personally walked this road before.
📞 Let’s talk. Schedule your FREE "Pause. Prepare. Proceed" session today.
Take a breath, get the support you need, and move forward with strength and strategy. We’ll listen, help you plan, and walk beside you as you advocate for your child’s future.
💙 Every child deserves a champion. Let’s make sure yours have one.
