transition planning
What is transition planning?
For families, moving through developmental milestones with their children can be a time of exhilaration and growth, but also of trepidation. As toddlers learn to walk, parents and caregivers feel joy watching those first steps. Just as quickly, though, they begin to see obstacles that can cause their toddlers to stumble and fall. Adults begin to clear pathways in their homes to help their toddlers make a successful transition from crawling to walking independently.
Another equally exciting, yet stressful time for families is when their children begin the process of moving from being cared for by family members to leaving their home and going to an early education setting, and eventually to school. Transition planning allows for communication between the caregivers in these different settings, and for this change to occur in a more matter-of-fact, seamless way that lays the foundation for better behavioral and academic outcomes. |
