Part C to B Transition At-A-Glance Assessment Team Leadership
Transitions occur for children and families across their lifespan. One major transition required within IDEA is when children turn 3 years old and transition out of Part C Early Intervention Programs into Part B Services for School-Aged Children. Families have procedural safeguards and protections that ensure they are fully informed about the process and options as their child is assessed for eligibility under Part B of the IDEA. Local LEAs have a requirement under the IDEA to ensure that 100% of the children receiving Part C services and found eligible for Part B, have Part B services in place by the child’s third birthday.
