What is an Individualized Family Service Plan?
Once your child and family are found to be eligible for Early Intervention, an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is written. The IFSP is an important document that is at the heart of Early Intervention services and is developed in partnership with caregivers, EI staff, and others you may want to include. Together, we create a plan that includes the goals and services that will be part of your EI experience. We believe that no one knows your child as well as you and therefore, you are a key partner in creating the plan. You will be asked to identify your child’s strengths and concerns. You will also be asked to identify when, where, and how often you would like services for your child. The IFSP also includes steps we will take to assist you and your child in the transition from EI when your child turns three.
