IFSP stands for what?

• A. Individualized Family Service Plan
• B. Integrated Family Service Plan
• C. Independent Family Service Protocol
• D. Individualized Federal Service Plan

Answer: (A)

IFSP stands for Individualized Family Service Plan. This is the primary written plan used in early intervention for children from birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities, and it centers on the family as the primary partner. The plan is created through a team approach with the family and service providers and is coordinated by a service coordinator. It documents the child’s current development, the family’s concerns and resources, measurable outcomes the team aims for, and the services and supports to be provided (often in natural environments) to help achieve those outcomes. It also specifies who will deliver each service and when, and it’s reviewed at least every six months with updates annually to reflect progress and any changes. The term uses Individualized and Family Service Plan, not Integrated, Independent, or Federal.
