Yes! @MichiganDec recognizes the need for continued increased state investment in #EarlyOn! Share your families' stories with your elected officials - bring them on a home visit! Early intervention for #Infants and #toddlers works!

[Early On Michigan Foundation @EarlyOnWorks]

We can get there - $5 M is a beginning for Michigan's state investment in infants and toddlers with delays and disabilities. $68 M is the need for #EarlyOn

Thank you @onetoughnerd for mentioning Early On - that EO Coordinator likely provided vital supports to Jeremiah's family. Hoping to hear you say more about your support for Early On #MISOTS18 #MIKids https://t.co/a549NkAgJN

[Rick Snyder @onetoughnerd]

Jeremiah Nelson was born in 2016 with spina bifida and his short life has been punctuated by surgeries and frequent hospital trips. But his life changed when his Early On coordinator pulled together 2 FIRST Robotics teams in Northern Michigan to customize a Power Wheels car.
