SUMMARY:Parent University Presents: Transition Planning from Preschool Special Education to Kindergarten
DESCRIPTION:The transition from preschool to kindergarten can be a time of excitement but it can also be a source of anxiety. Transitions are made easier when families and providers understand the process. This workshop will help participants to understand the transition process\, to be an active member of the transition team\, to understand the difference between services in CPSE and CSE\, and to understand the purpose of an IEP. Parents will come away from this workshop with a better understanding of what to expect as their children move on to kindergarten. \nPresented by: Lower Hudson Early Childhood FACE Center\, NYSED OSE Partnership \nZoom Registration Link: Click Here \n
