REFERRALS MADE WITH LESS THAN NINETY DAYS PRIOR TO TRANSITION. For children who are referred to GGRC and/or SMCOE between the ages of 2-years 6-months and 2-years 10.5-months, transition planning will occur simultaneously with the development of the initial IFSP. The LEA will be notified as early as possible, but in no case later than at the time of eligibility for GGRC services. For children who are referred to GGRC and/or SMCOE forty-five (45) to ninety (90) days before the 3rd birthday, a NOR will be made to the LEA by GGRC and/or the SMCOE, and the required steps will be completed for transition as noted above. A transition conference may be held but is not mandatory. For children referred to GGRC and/or SMCOE less than or equal to forty-five (45) days before the 3rd birthday, a referral will be made to the LEA only with parent consent. In the event that a child does not start the GGRC assessment process and/or an IFSP is not developed, then a NOR, a transition plan and a transition meeting are not required. It is the responsibility of the IFSP Service Coordinator to provide the family with transition information as required in Title 17 CCR section 52112. Parties agree to abide by the timetable of activities outlined in IFSP transition plan documents.
