Transition from Part C to Part B Data Collection: (Added 7/1/08)
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA 2004) requires states to report Part C to B transition data for children (birth to age three) who receive early intervention services through the Family Infant and Toddler Program (Part C) and by their third birthday transition to early childhood special education/essential early education (EEE). Early childhood transition is an area addressed in both the Part C and the Part B State Performance Plans (SPP). For this reason, early childhood transition must be a collaborative effort between both programs to ensure that all children and their families are able to participate in a constructive and beneficial transition process. For Part B, data on SPP/APR Indicator B12 * is collected on an annual basis and reported to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the U.S. Department of Education.
