From Part C to Part B
Understanding the transition to school-based services.
Around your child's third birthday, support often shifts from Early Intervention (IDEA Part C) to school-based special education (IDEA Part B). New people, new paperwork, a new plan — it's a lot.
I help you understand the timeline, prepare for the transition meeting, and make sure your child's needs and your family's voice stay at the center as an IFSP gives way to an IEP.
Before age three
We review your child's current Early Intervention plan and start preparing for what comes next.
The transition meeting
We prepare your questions and priorities so the meeting stays focused and productive.
Into Part B
If your child is eligible, we help you understand and shape the new IEP with confidence.
