A child’s third birthday is an important day. Aside from being a time to celebrate, it also marks the transition from California Early Start Early Intervention Services to a preschool option. This transition changes the services available to families and how they are provided, as the focus moves from the child with a disability or developmental delay and the family to just the child. This free, downloadable, 11 page guidebook includes information on what transition is, how and when to plan for it, how to determine if a child is eligible for special education services, how to implement the transition plan, and what to do if the child is not eligible for special education services. Find tips and facts that can help families plan for this important change in services before age three.
