At least three months before your child’s third birthday, your service coordinator will call one or more transition conferences to discuss your child’s needs and preschool options. This conference could be combined with a regularly scheduled Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) meeting.

You, your service coordinator, and other members of the IFSP team as appropriate will be included. Others may be invited as well. These people may include early childhood special education staff, representatives from community programs or services (such as a child-care provider, private preschool, or Head Start), and anyone else you would like to have there, such as grandparents, neighbors, or friends who know your child well.

Together, you and the team will address a variety of topics, such as the need for an evaluation to determine eligibility; goals, timelines, and team members’ responsibilities; your hopes, dreams, and concerns about your child; services and programs available; and your special education legal rights. Based on those discussions, you’ll develop a transition plan and prepare for the change in programs when your child turns 3.
