For most families, the supports from Birth to Three end the day before the child turns 3. Your child may “transition” to pre-school special education offered by your local school district. It is essential that families, Birth to Three teams, and school district personnel walk through this transition process together with respect and understanding.

Early Intervention Services Over Three
NEW: For families with children in Birth to Three who turn three between May 1 and the start of their school year after the child’s 3rd birthday, who are determined to be eligible for preschool special education, Early Intervention Services may be provided Over age 3 (EIS Over 3).
This is a flow chart that can help walk you through the options and this notification form is to be given to every family no later than the transition conference when they have children who might be eligible for EIS Over 3. Here is a new flyer about this Extension of Part C beyond age 3.
The video to the right, walks through the flow chart and gives a nice overview.
