Turning three is an important milestone in the life of a toddler with a delay or disability. Toddlers receiving early intervention services from California’s Early Start program must transition out of Early Start into preschool, community services, or other settings. This can be a challenging and exciting time for families, and Early Head Start and Head Start staff who serve these children and families play an important role in this transition. Find out how your staff can support toddlers with disabilities and delays as they transition out of Early Start at age three, and learn about a variety of helpful tools and professional development opportunities funded by the Department of Developmental Services through the California Early Intervention Technical Assistance Network (CEITAN) at WestEd.
