IFSP stands for Individualized Family Service Plan, a K-12 education abbreviation.
Plan for infants and toddlers from birth to age 3 with developmental delays or disabilities, created under Part C of IDEA. It focuses on the family's priorities and delivers services such as physical, speech and developmental therapy in natural environments like the home or child care.
Example: The early intervention team reviews the IFSP every six months.
Usage notes
Around age 3, children move from the IFSP to an IEP if they qualify for preschool special education, a process called transition. Part C programs are run by state lead agencies, often health departments rather than schools. Some states charge families sliding-scale fees for early intervention.
