“Transition” is a term that refers to the process of moving from one type of placement to another. A transition should consist of a series of well-planned steps that move a child from one program or service delivery model to another. Student examples will vary, but an example of a child who would need to transition would be a preschooler who was receiving services at a local preschool or day center, who is now moving to a public education classroom such as a kindergarten.
