Which document is specifically designed for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families, outlining services and outcomes?

• A. Individualized Education Program
• B. IEP Transition Plan
• C. Individualized Family Service Plan
• D. Section 504 Plan

Answer: (C)

The Individualized Family Service Plan is the plan designed for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. It covers children from birth to age 3 and is guided by IDEA Part C. The document centers on the family and describes the child’s present development, family concerns and resources, and the major outcomes the team aims to achieve. It specifies the early intervention services the child will receive—how often, how long, and where (with a strong emphasis on natural environments in daily routines)—and designates a service coordinator to help the family access and coordinate those services. Progress is reviewed regularly (at least every six months) and the plan is updated annually, with transition planning to preschool as appropriate.
