Building Better Bridges Randomized Control Trial

Parents in this group receive six, 1 hour, coaching sessions with a research staff coach, to discuss key information about transitions (knowing parent's rights about special education services, communicating effectively with school staff, knowing the roles of the school team members, how to develop and share your Snapshot, and what to do with your child over the summer to help with the transition). The coach will encourage the parent to identify a school staff member to help with preparing for the transition. If the post transition school team is not able to participate in a pre-transition meeting, then the coach will encourage the parent to share the Student Snapshot with the post-transition teacher(s) and school team when the new school year begins in the Fall.
