IDOE has released updated documentation for Part C to Part B Transition (First Steps) and Preschool Environments. While the information is not new, it is presented in an easy-to-read format, addresses common misconceptions, and answers frequently asked questions. LEAs should review each document, disseminate to staff involved with First Steps transitions, evaluate and place children aged three to five in preschool settings, and ensure that local policies, practices, and procedures comply with all regulations. Contact IDOE’s Office of Special Education with any questions.
