Well-coordinated and seamless transitioning of young children with special needs will yield positive outcomes for the children, their families and early childhood professionals involved. In this two-part webinar series, the presenter, who developed an award winning preschool transition model ‘Together We Succeed’ (TWS) and has published a couple of books on this theme, will present innovative strategies and practical activities to facilitate successful transitions.

Professionals will learn what they must know and do at various stages of the transition process to play an effective role in facilitating smooth transitions for young children from early intervention to preschool services and then on to kindergarten aided with case examples and flowcharts. Applying the principles of family-centered practices, the sessions will present actions and steps that sending and receiving programs must employ to guide and empower families in the transition-related decision-making process. Also, get tips on professional and family role in preparing children adequately for the next environment."
