DEADLINES AND MILESTONES

The system runs on deadlines nobody tells you about.

Appeal windows close. Renewals lapse. Rights transfer on a birthday. Wayfound helps track each deadline for your child with the source behind it, so families find out in time instead of after.

Upload a notice and Wayfound can keep the date beside its source. For Maya, the same screen holds an overdue IEP follow-up, a health insurance appeal date, and an estimated review date with their source labels attached.

  • Every date is sourced. Each card is badged "From an uploaded record" or "Wayfound estimate," so you always know where a date came from.
  • Nothing hides in a drawer. An urgent appeal, a meeting follow-up, and a future review can sit in the same timeline.
  • The law is attached. When a date comes from a rule, the citation stays on the deadline it governs.

LEGAL BASIS

Every date shows the law behind it

A milestone with context is easier to act on before the birthday is already here. On Aiden's timeline, Wayfound keeps transition planning beside the current deadline list, including conservatorship alternatives and transfer-of-rights planning.

  • Estimates say so. Any date Wayfound has to estimate is labeled "estimated," with a prompt to replace it the moment the official notice arrives.
  • Prep starts early. Each deadline comes with a prep checklist, so you know what to gather and do before the date, not just the date itself.
  • Citations you can quote. Drop the statute into an email or a meeting and the conversation changes.

TRANSITION MILESTONES

The milestones nobody warns you about

Some deadlines are set by your child's birthday, and no agency sends a letter ahead of time. Wayfound maps statute-cited transition milestones at ages 14, 16, 18, and 21, so the transition years never sneak up on you.

  • Transfer of Educational Rights at 18. Cited to CA Ed Code sections 56043(g)(3) and 56345(g), so you can plan for it before the birthday, not after.
  • Conservatorship and its alternatives. A Start Conservatorship / Alternatives Planning milestone lands before 18, while every option is still open.
  • Adult services on time. The Regional Center Adult Services Transition milestone is tracked under the Lanterman Act, so adult planning starts when it should.
