School-Age Transitions

An important part of the school age transition team’s discussion for children who are Blind/Visually Impaired must include the unique learning and environmental needs.

Considerations of the unique factors and questions prior to review and revision of the individualized education program (IEP) will ensure the child’s needs are addressed appropriately upon entrance into a school-age program and will initiate communication between parents or guardians and the local educational agency (LEA) personnel.

The Transition Process From Early Intervention to School-Age Programs

Significant changes occur for all of us at different times in our lives. When children in preschool early intervention reach the age of 5 or 6, they will move on to a school-age program. Examples of school-age programs are public schools, charter schools, and home education programs. During this transition to a school-age program, it is important for families to have as much information as possible about the process.
