This information packet was produced as part of outreach activities of Project STEPS (Sequenced Transition to Education in the Public Schools) which was created to develop an early childhood transition model for young children with disabilities. The model is intended to assist state and local agencies and covers four major component areas of transition: administration, staff involvement, family involvement, and child preparation. The packet is divided into nine sections which cover the following transition issues: (1) determining background considerations; (2) determining participants in transition system design and operation; (3) creating a shared vision; (4) transition system needs assessment; (5) developing an interagency structure; (6) formulating administrative policies and procedures (e.g., Child Find, records transfers, evaluations, follow-up); (7) developing a program for staff involvement; (8) developing a program for family involvement; and (9) developing strategies to prepare the child for the next placement and to prepare the next placement to meet the needs of the child.
