If your child is currently receiving services from the Minuteman Early Intervention program, you will be contacted by the Principal of Early Childhood Programs of the Lincoln Preschool when a copy of your child's IFSP has been received. The IFSP will only be sent with your permission based on conversations that you have with members of your Early Intervention team.

The transition process can start early approximately 6-8 months prior to your child's third birthday. The goal is to have the process completed and next step recommendations completed prior to a child's third birthday. The Principal of Early Childhood Programs will be in contact with the Preschool Coordinator to arrange a meeting known as the Transition Planning Conference (TPC). When possible the meeting is arranged for a time when your child receives services from Early Intervention. The meeting allows the school system to observe your child and interact with you regarding your concerns. Information is shared regarding your child's progress and current goals. At the TPC, the parent, Early Intervention Service Coordinator and the Principal of Early Childhood Programs, determine the areas of suspected disability and a consent to evaluate is sent to the family for their signature.
