If your young child has a visual impairment, you may have found that a program of early intervention services will help you meet her needs. Once she has been found eligible for these services, you will be meeting with the professionals who will provide them to discuss the specific needs of your child and your family. This team will create a document known as an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). The IFSP, which is mandated by Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), describes your child's current situation and prescribes the services needed to support both your child's development and your family's efforts to help her development.
