What does an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) provide information about?

An Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is specifically designed to address the needs of infants and toddlers with disabilities. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the child's strengths and needs, with a focus on their developmental delays or disabilities. The IFSP outlines the specific services that will be provided to support the child and their family, promoting the child's growth and development in a family-centered context.

While the IFSP may encompass elements of family preferences or educational strategies, its primary purpose is to document and respond to the child's specific disabilities. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in ensuring that the child receives tailored services that align with their individual needs.
