At every IFSP meeting you will have the chance to talk about any transition questions or concerns.
When your child is 2 years 6 months, your service coordinator will work with you to put together a referral packet. You will be asked to sign consent to send your child's referral packet to the school district or special education cooperative.
When your child is between 2 years 6 months and 2 years 9 months, your service coordinator will arrange for a Transition Planning Conference.
When your child is 2 years 9 months, you will have a Transition Planning Conference with your service coordinator and one person representing your local school district.
When your child is between 2 years 9 months and 3 years, your local school district or special education cooperative may arrange to evaluate your child. The information in your child's referral packet plus any new evaluations will be used to determine if your child is eligible for special education and related services.
On or before your child's 3rd birthday, you will help to write an Individualized Education Program (IEP) as a member of the IEP Team if your child is eligible for special education and related services.
If your child is not eligible for special education and related services, your service coordinator will help you find other opportunities for young children in your community.
