There are several transitions in services and environments that take place throughout the life of a person with a chronic medical condition or disability. In the early years, birth to age 3, services are provided to the family of the child as well as directly to the child through the Babies Can’t Wait (BCW) program. At age three the child makes the first transition from BCW to the local school system for services. The scope of services narrows to include services directly to the child (with a couple of narrow exceptions for the family) and is limited to those areas affected by learning and the classroom. After age 21, the young adult is no longer eligible for services under the IDEA and transitions to community-based services, which are much less comprehensive than school-based services. |
