Beginning the Journey II
PEN Workshop & Resources
"Give a child an intervention, and they will learn for a day."
"Give a family Early Intervention Services, and the child will learn throughout their lifetime."
FND PEN is hosting a virtual workshop with the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida on Wednesday, September 21th, 2022 at 10:30 am on Zoom (Register in advance) and live in the DSACF Facebook group.
Early Intervention is a key step in helping children who have been identified as having developmental delays succeed. But what happens after the 3rd birthday and your child transitions from early steps to the school system?
In this presentation, we will go over step by step what to expect when your child is transitioning out of early steps with an IFSP and into the school system with their first IEP if they qualify.
