What are the steps in the early childhood transition process?
The early childhood transition process begins at 24 months of age or earlier if determined by the IFSP team or if a child is found no longer eligible for ESS. The process typically begins with the development of a written transition plan. This written transition plan must be included in the IFSP. The plan includes timelines and steps to be taken to help children and families exit the program and move into other support services such as preschool special education, community based preschool, or other community services and programs. Based on this written transition plan, ESS assists families in exploring all options, including scheduling or attending site visits and completing forms, and/or conducting evaluations.
