Initial Eligibility Continue IFSP

Scenario 2: Child is eligible for Part B preschool special education services but parents choose to remain with Part C Infant and Toddlers services through an IFSP (must be determined before third birthday).

a.  Choose "No" to "Is this student transitioning from Infants and Toddlers (Part C) to (Preschool) Part B?"

b.  Green dates should be filled in.

c.  Red dates should not be filled in.

d.  Reason for delay is required if "Date of initial evaluation" is more than 60 days after "Date of parent consent for initial evaluation".

e.  This child is Eligibility 6.  The rest of the IEP would not need to be filled out but an Eligibility 6 Status Report can be printed by accessing the PRINT feature of the IEP.

The transition from Part C to Part B for children whose parents chose the Extended IFSP Option prior to age 3 is completed under Initial Eligibility Student Ages 3-21.

a.    Choose “Yes” to “Is this student transitioning from Infants and Toddlers (Part C) to Preschool (Part B) and receiving services through an IEP?”
b.    Yellow dates should match the dates that were filled in when the child entered Extended IFSP Option and had Initial Eligibility (Prior to Age 3) information entered.
c.    Green dates should be filled in.
d.    Blue dates should be filled in for either “Date Local School System was notified by parent decision to request services through an IEP” OR “Date Extended IFSP services ended”.
e.    Reason for delay should not be filled in because eligibility determination must be made by age 3 and no later for child to take part in Extended Part C Option.

Note:  The Date of Initial Evaluation will populate on the Close Record screen as Most Recent Evaluation Date.
