WELCOME!

The Center's mission is to examine factors that promote successful transitions between infant/toddler programs,preschool programs, and public school programs for young children with disabilities and their families.

The primary objective of the National Early Childhood Transition Center (NECTC) is to investigate and validate practices and strategies that enhance the early childhood transition process and support positive school outcomes for children with disabilities. This objective will be met through four inter-related research activities.
