INDIVIDUALIZED FAMILY SERVICE PLAN (IFSP)
|
|
An IFSP is a written plan for providing
early intervention services for your child and family. The plan represents
a partnership between your family and the professionals.
It is a family centered plan that is based
on your child's strengths and needs. Your concerns for your child
and family are identified and a plan developed for how those concerns
will be addressed.
The plan is based on what is most important
to you and how you can enhance your ability to help your child.
The plan lists outcomes for your child and family and describes
the services and coordination that will get to those outcomes.
Family members decide what is written on
the plan and can veto any input from professionals. The plan can
be amended at any time by the family.
