• B. A service support plan developed for the family of a child from birth to age three and is part of Public Law 99-457
• C. A medical treatment plan
• D. A general family counseling program

Answer: (B)

An IFSP is a plan for early intervention that centers the family and child from birth through age three. It is developed for a child who has or is at risk for developmental delays, with the family actively involved in shaping the plan. The IFSP lays out the child’s current level of development, the family's resources and priorities, the major outcomes hoped for, and the specific services and supports the child will receive to help reach those outcomes. It is part of Public Law 99-457, the amendments that established birth-to-three services under IDEA, and it designates how and where services will be provided (often in natural environments) and who coordinates the plan for the family. It’s not a school district budget valuation, not a medical treatment plan, and not a general family counseling program, because its purpose is to coordinate and deliver early intervention services tailored to the child and family from birth to age three.
