Agreements must specify when and how each of these will take place and who is responsible:

• Visits to new settings (by parents without children? with children? etc.)

   

• Communication between direct service staff from sending and receiving agencies (e.g., to identify skills or experiences that may help children succeed in next care or education setting)

   

• Support for acquiring skills and experiences that have been identified as important in the receiving program
