IFSP originates from which part of IDEA?

• A. Part C (early intervention)
• B. Part B (ages 3-21)
• C. Section 504
• D. No Child Left Behind

Answer: (A)

IFSP originates from IDEA Part C, the early intervention portion of the law for children birth to 3. The IFSP is a family-centered plan created by a multidisciplinary team with the family, outlining which services will be provided, by whom, where they’ll occur (often in the child’s natural environments), and how progress will be tracked. When the child turns 3, services typically transition to an IEP under Part B for ages 3–21, not IFSP. Section 504 is a separate civil rights provision, and No Child Left Behind has been replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act. So the correct source within IDEA is Part C.
