The National Early Childhood Technical Assistance Center supports the implementation of the early childhood provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Our mission is to strengthen service systems to ensure that children with disabilities (birth through five) and their families receive and benefit from high quality, culturally appropriate, and family-centered supports and services.

Planning for Transitions, Training Guides for the Head Start Learning Community
http://www.headstartinfo.org/publications/planning_transitions/intro.htm
The purpose of this technical guide, Planning for Transitions, is to facilitate the successful transition of children and their families into and out of Early Head Start and Head Start programs. Program staff will also find it helpful as they plan for children's daily transitions from Head Start to home or a child care setting. As a companion to Effective Transition Practices: Facilitating Continuity, this guide builds on the concept that successful transitions involve the coordination and continuation of developmental and comprehensive services from birth through age eight. Planning for Transitions provides some of the skills and tools staff need to work with families and staff from other programs and agencies to facilitate this continuum of quality services.

Florida's Transition Project for Infants, Young Children and Their Families assists local communities in establishing trained teams to develop a seamless sytem of transition among agencies providing services to young children with disabilities, birth to six years of age, and their families. The team identifies issues and barriers to transition and creates an action plan. The plan outlines how the team will resolve the issues and build on community strengths in defining the community's transition system. The team also sets timelines and implements the plan accordingly.
