The aim of this study is to highlight meaningful factors that are important for how the transition between pre-school and compulsory school for students with intellectual disabilities is performed. To highlight these factors, we use three resaearch questions; How is the transition between pre-school and compulsory school for students with intellectual disabilities organized according to the representatives of the professional groups involved in this process? Which success factors do these professional groups describe as central to the transition between pre-school and compulsory school for students with intellectual disabilities? What dilemmmas do the professional groups describe as hindering in the transistion between pre-school and compulsory school for students with intellectual disabilities? The study has its starting point in a qualitative approach and the analysis tools used in the study are thematic analysis and Bromfenbrenner`s system theory. To answer the questions, focus group interviews with professional groups from pre-school and compulsory school for students with intellectual disabilities have been used as a method. Through focus gruop interviews we have highlighted the interview participants`experiences regarding the transition process and its success factors as well as dilemmas. The study shows that in many cases there is a lack of resources in the form of time and qualified staff to carry out the activities required for a successful transition. This is reflected upon that the preparations that is needed for a positive transition is not possible to carry through. During interviews, the professional groups expresses that every transition is unique and that every student needs differ, which shows on the great importance that time and resources are given to create possibilities for a successful transition.
