Abstract

Multiple barriers and challenges are involved when special education needs/disability (SEND) pupils transition from the nursery level to the primary level of formal education in Guyana. The purpose of this paper is to highlight services available in Guyana to support this transition process. This paper will present a background of nursery education in Guyana, examine the current situation as nursery educators attempt to meet the needs of SEND learners and finally provide recommendations to improve transition services for students with SEND moving from nursery level to primary.
