Programs that provide support for children with disabilities who are moving from one kind of program setting or service provision system to another. The common transition points include transitions from health services to education or vice versa, from preschool to kindergarten, from elementary school to middle school, from secondary school to adult life and from more restrictive to less restrictive settings.

The Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia provides early intervention supports and services to infants and toddlers (birth - 36 months) who are not developing as expected or who have a medical condition that can delay normal development. Early intervention supports and services focus on increasing the child's participation in family and community activities that are important to the family. In addition, supports and services focus on helping parents and other caregivers know how to find ways to help the child learn during everyday activities. These supports and services are available for all eligible children and their families regardless of the family's ability to pay. 

Services include the Office of Special Education Programs and Part C Early Intervention Programs. DBHDS is the lead agency for Part C in Virginia.
