Re-visiting transition-based teaching: Impact of pre-service teacher's implementation on child outcomes

- Children spend large proportion of school day in transitions between activities and locations.
- Embedding instruction within transitions is a viable way of teaching pre-academic skills to young children with disabilities.
- Brief trials delivered during transitions do not increase length of transition times or change nature of teachers' behaviors.
- Teachers can learn and implement the transition-based teaching with high fidelity following a brief training session.
- Children learning skills through transition-based teaching are able to generalize and maintain the learned skills.
