Early Intervention (Birth-3) Early Intervention Campus-based (3-5) Early Intervention Community-based (3-5) Preschool to School-Age Transition: Considerations for Children Who Are Blind/Visually ImpairedAs your child transitions from Early Intervention/Preschool services to school age services, your school district will complete an evaluation of your child to determine your child’s educational needs. As your child and you go through this process, it is important for you to discuss your child’s needs with the educational team. This document provides a list of questions and considerations related to the unique needs of children who are blind/visually impaired, deafblind or blind/visually impaired with additional disabilities. This tool is designed to guide your discussions to ensure that the school district considers all of your child’s educational needs including the Expanded Core Curriculum of skills that are essential for all students with visual impairments. While this tool was developed to assist both families and school districts to develop educational programs for children transitioning from Early Intervention to School Age services, the questions and considerations are relevant for students of any age. If you have any questions related to your child transitioning to a school-age program, please contact Lynne Williams at Lynne@obs.org
