Iep for Transition from Pre-K to Kindergarten

[Natalie]

Hi, my son has an IEP at his school and will be going from pre-k to kindergarten . What all would I need to put on the Iep for my child to have a smooth transition?

I'm glad you asked--I love when parents are this engaged so early on.

Here you go, I have a whole list of ideas, plus a webinar video is in that link:

Not exactly sure what the link includes but see if your child can visit the new school, play on the playground over the summer or take advantage of other opportunities to explore the school (do they have a spring fair or a 5th grade performance that's open to the public?) so it's not new to them on the 1st day.  See if there are other kids you can meet so your child has a familiar face at school.  See if the custodian can give a private tour over the summer.  Some of this can go into the IEP.  The rest is networking - the school can't give you the name & numbers of other families but they can share your info if you give them permission.
