Indicator 12: Early Childhood Transition

This training will provide an overview of the review process for Early Childhood Transition. Pursuant to federal requirements, the Bureau of Special Education Support is required to annually report on IDEA Part B Indicator 12: the timeliness of transitions from Family Centered Early Supports and Services (FCESS) to preschool special education. In accordance with 34 CFR 300.101(a), FAPE must be made available to all children with disabilities beginning on their 3rd birthday. This provision specifically requires that an IEP is in EFFECT for the child on the date of their 3rd birthday. Data for this indicator is derived from the information entered into the New Hampshire Special Education Information System (NHSEIS) by school district personnel.
