On
or before the third birthday, a child moves from
First Steps Early Intervention services (First
Steps) to Early Childhood Special Education services
and/or other community services. Moving from program
to program is called transition. This guide is
to help parents understand what happens when their
child makes the transition from First Steps to
Early Childhood Special Education. Parents need
to be aware that there is a plan for transition
and that there are regulations that guide the process.
A child’s transition from First Steps to
Early Childhood Special Education should be a time
of collaboration among parents, First Steps, and
school personnel.
