IFSP Outcomes
Transition Conference
Transitions from Part C Services
“The IFSP must include the steps and services to be taken to support the smooth transition of the child…. From Part C services” 34 C.F.R $303.344(h)(1).
Not fewer than 90 days and not more than nine months before a child’s third birthday a transition conference must be held for children potentially eligible for Part B. Reasonable efforts are made to convene a transition conference for children not potentially eligible for Part B.
An initial evaluation for Part B must be part of the transition plan for those children considered to be potentially eligible.
The resulting transition plan must be part of the IFSP and not a separate document.
Transition Flow Chart
Example Transition Table
Effective transition planning identifies steps and services and assigns responsibility in order to:
Prevent service gaps as children turn 3.
Initial Part B Evaluation Timeline = 30 school days vs. on an IEP by the child’s third birthday.
Prepare the child for the change in service delivery, including steps to help the child adjust to a new setting.
Help families know what to expect from services under Part B compared to what they have experienced under Part C. Connect families with appropriate community supports and services.
Begin the relationship, if applicable, between child and family and new service providers.
Celebrate!
