A family may elect to receive their services through the special education preschool either in their home or at a center-based program. The decision may be made because the family has limited transportation options, feels the child is not ready to attend a community-based program at this time, or would like the child to attend a specific community program in which there are currently no openings. For these reasons, a child may transition from an early childhood special education (ECSE) preschool into a community preschool. The steps in this process include the determination of community options at the Individual Education Program (IEP) meeting, the development of a transition plan, the discussion of issues such as classroom, transportation or equipment needs for the child, and the development of a plan for monitoring transition once the child is placed in the new program.
