Transition Resources From Preschool All The Way Through High School


Transition to Preschool
--"Early intervention is designed for children from birth up to age three.  At that point, services under EI end. If the child will need continued support once he or she moves on to preschool, it’s very important to plan ahead so that the transition is smooth." ~ Center for Parent Information and Resources
--Visit Center for Parent Information and Resources' website to learn more about the Transition Process to Preschool.
     --For the Spanish version of the website, please click here.

Transition from Preschool to Elementary School
--"Parents of children with disabilities can experience significant anxiety when it comes to allowing another person to assume such an important role in their child’s life." ~ My Child Without Limits
--"In spite of that, establishing open lines of communication with your child’s school, especially their classroom teacher and paraprofessionals, will help to ensure that you are kept aware of what occurs when you cannot be with your child." ~ My Child Without Limits
--"Maintaining this open flow of communication permits a parent to have a voice in all that is going on while your child becomes part of a new educational setting." ~ My Child Without Limits
--Visit My Child Without Limits' website to learn tips about Transition from Preschool to Elementary School.
   


Transition from Middle School to High School
--A "...teenager with a disability has probably already mastered many of the skills needed for secondary education: meeting new people, changing classes, working with multiple teachers, using a locker, and navigating the hallways." ~ PACER Center
--"In high school, the child will encounter new situations that come with growing independence: choosing elective classes, meeting graduation requirements, developing self-advocacy skills, driving, dating, becoming a legal adult, and planning for life after graduation." ~ PACER Center
--To learn how to successfully transition from middle school to high school, view the document below.
     --The information in the document is provided by PACER Center.

Want More Information Regarding Pre-K through High School and Beyond?
--Check out National PTA's website about Transition.

     --For the Spanish version of the website, please click here.

Want more resources?
--Check out these information provided by NC Public Schools.

--This link provides suggestions to teachers in how to support students who have trouble staying organized. I thought it could be of some use. It is listed as a resource under autism but seems like it would be useful info for ADHD as well. 
http://ec.ncpublicschools.gov/disability-resources/autism-spectrum-disorders/accommodations.pdf

--Here is a link to a pdf about the evidence-based strategies that have been shown to work for some students on the autism spectrum. There is no strategy that has been shown to be effective with all students on the spectrum. If you notice a strategy you want to learn more about, let me know and I can get you more information on that/those specific strategies. 
http://ec.ncpublicschools.gov/disability-resources/autism-spectrum-disorders/evidence-based.pdf

--And here is the  State Board of Education DPI webpage that provided the links for those two documents. (In other words, these are the documents your child's EC teachers should be using to guide them in decision-making).
