• MISSION: Transition This is a board game that teaches people about moving from early intervention services to early childhood special education services. It was inspired by parents facing this transition with their children, and is complete with a folding board, game cards and pieces. It is a fun, easy way to help parents and professionals understand the transition process, special education law, and the importance of the Individualized Education Plan.
Players start on the early intervention square and must answer question cards before rolling the dice to progress towards early childhood special education services.
The questions are based on those actually asked by parents who were going through this process. A complete answer key is provided and practical tips for a smooth transition are shared.
