There are 78 permanent SPECIAL points in Fallout 4.
- You start off with 28 points.
- You can find a You're SPECIAL! book in your Sanctuary home for another point.
- Can only increase a maxed stat if a debuff like alcohol is used to temporarily lower one of your maxed stats
- You can train all your SPECIAL stats up to 10, so that's 42 remaining points.
- Additional Bobbleheads (for each specific SPECIAL stat) can be found, 7 points.
You can max out your character with 10 in each SPECIAL trait provided every time you level up you simply choose the appropriate training to increase your stats (as opposed to choosing perks).
Remember, there's no level cap, so you can keep on levelling and start getting other perks later.
So you start off with 28, but you can easily improve all of them to 70, should you choose to only train those perks starting at Level 2.
This means 70 - 28 = 42. Meaning the earliest you could max out all your stats is getting to Level 43, while every time you level up putting points in the stat you want to increase, provided you also don't find any bobbleheads along your way.
Additionally, some perks grant permanent increases in stats at specific times of the day or at a certain HP level, so those are technically also "permanent".
You won't lose the bonus once you find them, but you will miss out on the awesome opportunity to display them in your home, also its way easier to keep track of which bobblehead you've found already if you still have them.
You can build a magazine rack (2 kinds actually) and bobblehead display station if you have the materials that are especially designed to hold those items.

Best Answer
No, because you don't have any skills/perks when leaving the vault.
You are prompted upon leaving if you which to change your Appearance or your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Points in S.P.E.C.I.A.L. unlock perks which also require points to use and upgrade.
You gain one point every level. So you build your perks as you level up, consult guides on how to choose your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. if you are going for specific perks/build out of the vault.
There's no known way to redistribute points after the initial prompt after leaving the vault.
However, using console commands on the PC version, you can set your perks and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to anything you want:
