Indicator C 8: Early Childhood Transition Summary of 06 -07 APR 3
C 8: Early Childhood Transition l 4 Percent of all children exiting Part C who received timely transition planning to support the child’s transition to preschool and other appropriate community services by their third birthday including: – (A) IFSPs with transition steps and services – (B) Notification to LEA, if child potentially eligible for Part B; and – (C) Transition conference, if child potentially eligible for Part B.
Overall Trends Across Sub indicators l l l 5 More states report higher rates of compliance in notifying LEAs of potentially eligible children (8 B) and documenting transition steps within the IFSP (8 A) than for holding transition conferences (8 C) More states report full compliance regarding Notification to LEA (8 B)and report substantial compliance. All states reported data on all sub indicators.

Progress l l l 7 IFSP Steps (8 A) – 30 states made progress (8 maintained 100%) Notification (8 B) – 22 states made progress (8 maintained 100%) Conference (8 C)– 32 states made progress (4 maintained 100%)
Progress attributed to: Clarification of policies, specific training/TA l Improved monitoring/data processes to include sub indicator requirements l Revised IFSP forms l Improved data sharing procedures and data entry accuracy; Systematized notification protocols; increased frequency of reports l Improving local collaboration l Targeted training of Service Coordinator/Data Managers l 8 A 8 B Utilization of focused monitoring/improved data collection l Training/TA and policy clarification l 8 C 8
Slippage l l l 9 IFSPs with Transition Steps/Services (N=11) Notification to LEA (N=13) Transition Conference (N=17) Reasons given: – Inaccurate or changing data systems/sources – Issues of data entry and reporting – IFSPs needed elements and instructions for documenting transition – Unclear policies – Staff shortages
Themes l l l 10 Improving data collection, record keeping, data analysis and data sharing Clarifying policies and aligning the consistency of policies across C and 619 Improving communication and collaboration across Part C and 619 Training and TA linked to monitoring and correction of non-compliance. Collaborative and joint training efforts with Part B, Section 619
Indicator B 12: Early Childhood Transition Summary of 06 -07 APR 11
B 12: Early Childhood Transition Percent of children referred by Part C prior to age 3 and who are found eligible for Part B, and who have an IEP developed and implemented by their third birthday. 12
Overall Trends Across Indicator l l 13 States show steady progress by national average of reported data (from baseline 72% to FFY 06 -07 84%) Changes to data systems decreased performance for some states but considered more accurate
Progress and Slippage 37 states reported progress l 11 states reported slippage l 3 states maintained 100% l 14
Progress Attributed To: l l l 15 Changes in Data Collection Procedures and Systems Changes in Monitoring Processes and Linkage to Improved Data Capacity Improved Collaboration with Part C Clearer Policies and Guidance Intensive Targeted TA
Slippage Attributed to: l l l 16 FFY 05 -06 Data considered inflated or incomplete for purposes of analysis Selection of monitoring sites in cycle Staffing and personnel issues
Themes l l l 17 Better data! Better monitoring of compliance requirements MOUs and improved collaboration with Part C Clarified policies and guidance Collaborative training and TA Inconsistencies across states in policies regarding reasons for delay
