IFSP stands for which plan?

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

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that IFSP stands for a plan used in early intervention for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. It is an Individualized Family Service Plan, a document that is tailored to the child’s developmental needs and the family’s priorities. The plan is created with input from the family and service professionals, and it specifies the services to be provided (what services, how often, where they’ll occur, and how they’ll be delivered), as well as the expected outcomes for the child and family. It also outlines how progress will be measured and how the plan will be updated over time, including a transition plan as the child nears preschool age.

Why this is the best answer: this term precisely reflects the legally defined framework used in early intervention to support young children and their families, emphasizing individualized planning and family involvement. The other wording—international, federal, or integrated—doesn’t match the established terminology or purpose of this plan.
