Downriver Do-Gooders

Since Mimi’s Mission no longer accepts donations of household items, personal hygiene items, and clothes in the office, we have created a free giving group on Facebook to help Downriver residents connect to give and receive these items. This is a group about neighbors helping neighbors. Once your item is gone please remove your post. Downriver communities
If you are interested in donating items or are looking for free items from other Downriver community members, please join the Downriver Do-Gooders Facebook Group.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) law? +
IDEA is a federal law that ensures children with disabilities receive special education services in public schools. It requires schools to evaluate students, create individualized plans, and provide services at no cost to families.
What is a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)? +
FAPE means your child has the legal right to an education that meets their unique needs, at no cost to you. Schools must provide services that allow meaningful progress.
What is an Individualized Education Program (IEP)? +
An IEP is a written plan for students who qualify for special education. It outlines goals, services, accommodations, and how progress will be measured. Parents are equal members of the IEP team.
What do I do if my child did not qualify for an IEP? +
You can request a written explanation, ask about a 504 Plan, or request an independent evaluation if you disagree. Even without an IEP, support options may still be available.
