Monitoring Transition from Part C

Federal Monitoring Policies and Resources

Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is responsible for ensuring State compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). To assist States in meeting the needs of students with disabilities, OSEP has developed a continuous improvement monitoring process, including the requirement that states complete a State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Reports (APRs) for Part C as well as Part B service systems.

There are two SPP/APR indicators pertinent to early childhood transition: C8 and B12.

Effective General Supervision Part C / Effective Transition

Indicator C8

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:

IFSPs with transition steps and services;
Notification to LEA, if child potentially eligible for Part B; and
Transition conference, if child potentially eligible for Part B.

(20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B) and 1442)

Effective General Supervision Part B / Effective Transition

Indicator B12

Percent of children referred by Part C prior to age 3, who are found eligible for Part B, and who have an IEP developed and implemented by their third birthdays.

(20 U.S.C. 1416(a)(3)(B))

OSEP provides SPP/APR guidance materials via the Regional Resource and Federal Center (RRFC) Network Web page: http://www.rrfcnetwork.org/content/view/248/358/, which includes information on monthly TA calls, links to the SPP/APR measurement tables for both Part C and Part B, FAQs and other helpful resources.
