An Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP) is the document that outlines the services your child and family will receive through the early intervention system. Parents are expected to play a large role in the development of the IFSP. They are expected to discuss their child’s and family’s capabilities as well as goals for their child and family. Because having a deaf or hard of hearing child and early intervention are new to most families, often families don’t know where to begin.
