A written, family-centered plan guiding early intervention services for infants and toddlers is the Individualized Family Service Plan. This plan brings together the child’s current development, the family’s priorities, and the specific outcomes the team aims to achieve. It then outlines the early intervention services to be provided, where those services will occur (with a strong emphasis on natural environments like home or caregiving settings), how often and for how long they will occur, and the supports needed to access them. A service coordinator helps organize the services and ensure the family can participate in decision-making. The IFSP is developed with the family, reviewed at least every six months, and updated annually, with a transition plan to preschool services by age three. In contexts like vision impairment, the plan also specifies supports such as accessible materials and strategies to support learning in daily routines. Other terms refer to organizations rather than the plan itself.
