The MISD's 21
school districts serve a total of approximately 135,000 students and
even more in Public School Academies. Nearly 20,000 of these students are challenged by needs that make them eligible
for special
education. These needs arise from physical, mental or
emotional disabilities
making it difficult for the students to keep up with
their peers. To meet some of our Special Children,

Because the needs of the students with
disabilities are different and frequently require special
attention, materials or equipment, we call our assistance for
these students Special Education Services. The MISD, local
districts and public school academies in Macomb County employ
over 1500 special education professionals who deliver these
special education services.
The MISD takes pride in its ability to bring the best in
education to students with such diverse needs. Services range
from assistance to students within their own district
classrooms to the operation of special schools and programs.
This assistance is far reaching and even extends to
students who cannot attend school.
