At age 3, your child will transition out of Early Intervention services.
If your child needs additional support after age 3 and if your child qualifies, your local school district is there to help and can offer support within an educational setting in preschool at no cost to families.

What to Expect
Getting Ready for the Transition
- Make sure to respond to Child Find’s request to schedule a Part B evaluation
- Talk to your insurance about options for other therapy resources
- Ask your service coordinator for other options in the community
If eligible (for Part B services), your child will receive therapy in the school.
Make sure to connect everyone who works with your child such as your day care, therapist, doctor and school team.
If eligible for Part B services, your child will receive an Individualized Education Plan or IEP.
After Early Intervention
After Early Intervention, children may still be able to receive services with Developmental Pathways. You can apply for our Resource Coordination Program (RCP) if your child qualifies for Part B services or if your child doesn’t qualify for Part B services but did not meet their IFSP goals.
