What happens if my child no longer needs ESS services?

Sometimes it is determined that a child no longer needs ESS services because they have reached all of their goals. If it is determined that your child no longer requires ESS, you will receive prior written notice that ESS will be ending and have a meeting to plan for transition out of ESS. During this meeting, your Service Coordinator will help you to develop a plan for the transition from ESS and provide you with available community resources and who to contact if you feel that your child may benefit from services at a later date.

Also, if at any point you feel that your child no longer needs ESS, you may voluntarily stop services. However, eligibility for ESS ends when your child turns 3 regardless of whether your child has reached all of their goals.  For more information about planning for the transition from ESS when your child turns 3, visit here.
