Before the First IEP: Your Birth-to-3 Transition Checklist
```If your child is approaching age 3, this is the window where timing matters. Early Intervention ends, the school district steps in, and parents are suddenly expected to understand referrals, evaluations, assessments, services, and IEP language.
This free guide helps you know what should happen at 32, 34, and 36 months — and what to ask before goals and services are written.
The Bridge

Records

Assessments

Meeting
