Special Education Mediation

The Michigan Special Education Mediation Program (MSEMP) helps parents, educators, and service providers develop productive relationships for resolving issues in early intervention and special education. Families of students who need special education services may find that mediation is a good way to approach the schools to obtain the services they need.
