Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Part C, early intervention services are provided to eligible children and families through an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). The family will have a meeting with a Family Resources Coordinator (FRC) and other service providers who make up the IFSP team. The family, with the team, will write a plan based on the family's resources, priorities, and concerns. Services begin when the family has agreed to the IFSP that has been developed. The IFSP is an on-going process that meets the changing needs of the child and family. It is reviewed at least every six months and rewritten on a yearly basis. The family works with their FRC to assure the plan reflects the family's concerns, interests, and values.
