Individual Family Service Plan?

An Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP)  is a plan of services individualized for each child and family. A team of professionals and the child’s parents develop the IFSP. All eligible children with developmental delays or disabilities, from birth to kindergarten age, have an IFSP. The IFSP is a written plan that describes:

  • The child’s abilities
  • The child’s needs
  • Services for the child and family
  • Family outcomes related to the child’s needs
  • Goals and objectives reflecting both the child’s developmental and special education needs.
