IFSP is described as which of the following?

• A. Birth to age 3
• B. A plan only for academic services
• C. The birth to age 3 version of IDEA
• D. An evaluation protocol for minors

Answer: (C)

An IFSP is the plan created under IDEA for infants and toddlers from birth through age 3, detailing the early intervention services to support development and the family’s goals, and specifying how those services will be delivered in the child’s natural environment. It centers on supporting the child across developmental areas and involves the family, not just academic instruction. It’s not an evaluation protocol; rather, it’s the service plan that follows eligibility and assessments. This is the birth-to-age-3 version of IDEA, distinct from the IEP used for older children.
