Special education local plan areas (SELPAs) may
represent one or many LEAs. Regional centers may
work with multiple SELPAs; likewise, some large
SELPAs work with several regional centers. Regional
centers and LEAs are required to develop and maintain
interagency agreements annually that include transition
procedures. It is important that all parties understand
the specific locally agreed-upon procedures and
responsibilities for the transition process to ensure
smooth transitions.
