Indicator 12: Early Childhood Transition

Oklahoma offers SoonerStart, birth through 2 year old program for any child with a developmental delay or disability. The program ceases on the child's 3rd birthday. Maintaining a fluidity of necessary services ensures continued growth/consistency.  Prior to the child's 3rd birthday, SoonerStart staff will discuss the transition/desire for special education services within the Local Educational Agency (LEA). SoonerStart staff contacts an LEA for any expected 2 year old students needing services at age 3. During a SoonerStart Transition Planning Conference (TPC) or at an LEA initial eligibility meeting, the team will discuss Review Existing Data (RED), acquire new testing information, and make a determination of eligibility and/or services necessary. The transition from SoonerStart to an LEA requires a RED, Parent Consent, Multidisciplinary Evaluation and Eligibility Group Summary (MEEGS), and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) prior to the child's 3rd birthday. Any missed timelines will require a statement of the reason for the delay and future plans for improvement of the LEA in subsequent years.
