Abstract
The Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA) requires all Individualized Family Service (IFSP) plans to address transition. Early Intervention programs must initiate and discuss the transition process from early intervention to school-based services with each family at least 90 days before the child’s third birthday. Transition should be a process of information sharing and planning for each individual family. The transition process can be very stressful for many families because services, service providers, location, and delivery of services change. Preschool is often a family’s first experience with a school environment, successful collaboration and communication through the transition phase enhances the family experience and increases future success and outcomes for children and families. This project will review the literature on transition that will include: the transition process, family experiences including successes and barriers, and impact on school success. In this literature review, many scientific studies were reviewed to gain a deeper understanding of this subject.
