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.
The California Special Education Technical Assistance Network (CalTAN) is developed in association with California’s Statewide System of Support and funded by the California Department of Education.
