Beginning the Journey II
Beginning the Journey II
"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."
Please join us for "Beginning the Journey II", as we discuss the transition from the Early Steps Program (0-3) into the Pre-Kindergarten Program for Students with Disabilities (3-5).
Intervention is a key step in helping children who have been identified as having developmental delays succeed. This is a critical period to keep services and interventions.
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.
