Transition Practices for Handicapped Young Children: What the Experts Say

Western Illinois University, Macomb

The transition segment of a discussion by a group of nationally known experts in early childhood handicapped programing is reported. The national panel interviews and symposium were part of a larger study funded to study Illinois and nationally known preschool handicapped programs. Findings indicated that the importance of effective transition was recognized and that transition procedures were written into many programs, but were not followed in practice. The national panel commented extensively on procedures used in moving children from one program to another. Goals, characteristics, and procedures were suggested and recommended for insuring smooth transition. The necessity of planning and implementing careful followup was stressed.
