In March 2008, the National Early Childhood Transition Initiative released a document developed collaboratively over several months titled "Designing and Implementing Effective Early Childhood Transition Processes". The document was created as a resource for improving state and local performance on the State Performance Plans (SPP) and Annual Performance Reports (APR) indicators specifically related to transition (Part C Indicator 8 and Part B Indicator 12), as well as other related indicators; and to promote the connection between effective transition planning practices and child and family outcomes. The document identified eight essential components of state- and local-level infrastructure necessary to ensure effective transitions for young children and their families. The purpose of this Project Forum document is to: (1) summarize the recommendations included in the transition initiative's document; and (2) highlight some of the policies/practices adopted by six states undertaken to meet the early childhood transition requirements of IDEA. A list of state-level EC Transition Coordinators and/or Project Directors is appended. (Contains 18 footnotes.)
