Popis: Harry's mother, Lanie, looked around the table at all of the professionals who had come together to write Harry's Individualized Education Plan (IEP): Harry's service coordinator, the school district preschool coordinator, the early childhood preschool consultant, the child care center director, Harry's child care provider, and his physical therapist. She reflected back on the preparations that had led to this meeting: There were multiple conversations with Harry's service coordinator, a parent transition planning workshop sponsored by the school district that Lanie attended 3 months ago, and visits to several school district preschool programs to learn more about the continuum of services available for preschoolers. Lanie had initially dreaded thinking about Harry's transition at age 3; however, now that the time was closer, Lanie felt confident that both she and Harry were ready for any changes they might encounter.
