Welcome to Eaton RESA

Families and community members are invited to join the Speak Up for Equal Access (SUEA) Crew, a collaborative group between Eaton Regional Service Agency (RESA) and Ingham Intermediate School District (ISD) dedicated to supporting advocacy and family involvement around Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) in Eaton and Ingham counties.

High school juniors who have an IEP or 504 Plan from school districts in the Eaton RESA service area are invited to the 8th Annual Transition College Tour.

The event is Thursday, March 19, 2026,  at Lansing Community College West Campus from 9:30 AM - 1 PM.

Students will have the opportunity to explore careers in technical programs through hands-on experiences. Interested students should complete the registration form before attending. 

Families in Eaton County are invited to FREE Community Playgroups designed for children and infants from birth through 5 years old, along with their siblings. These fun and engaging playgroups will be held in Grand Ledge, Maple Valley and Eaton Rapids. Please see the complete list of playgroups and locations.

Each playgroup offers a welcoming space for families to connect while children enjoy stories, movement activities, art, social interaction and plenty of play. Parents and caregivers must remain with their children at all times, and each child will receive a free book to take home.

Eaton RESA's three mobile pathways labs bring career exploration options to thousands of students across the county.

Those include the Sky Lab, which is focused on aviation, featuring flight simulators and aviation engineering kits; the Fabrication Lab, dedicated to engineering manufacturing and fabrication jobs, which includes a 3D printer, drill press, and real welder; and The Garage Lab, which is focused on automotive trades, featuring tire changing stations, electrical circuit boards and a backhoe simulator, according to the district's website.

The grant will be dedicated to the fabrication and garage labs, said Sara Jobson, career pathways specialist for Eaton RESA.
