Episode 51: Special Education Process Mini Course (Part 2) - The Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)

In this episode I explain the Individualized Family Education Plan (IFSP) process and form so that families and those working with children below the age of 3  can have a better foundation of what to expect and what will be required to build a solid plan for those children that are eligible for early intervention services.
