Indiana Interagency Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Provision of Services to Young Children with Special Needs and Their Families 2006
The MOA provides a framework for collaboration. It describes the roles and responsibilities essential for successful implementation of a comprehensive, coordinated services system for young children with disabilities and their families. The agreement promotes joint responsibility of participating agencies at the state and local level for assuming the method and means of implementation. This agreement replaces the prior agreement signed in 1999.

Indiana's Transition Initiative
This web site provides information on the support and training available to communities to assist in developing a community transition system so that the transition process can be a positive experience for young children, families, and providers.
Transition to Early Childhood Special Education
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.
