Transition from HOPE

Transition services are those services that assist a toddler with a disability and his/her family to experience a smooth and effective transition from HOPE to your toddler’s next program (e.g., preschool special education program in the school district of residence, childcare center in the community, Head Start Program) or other appropriate services, including services that may be identified for a toddler who is no longer eligible to receive special education services.
