Speech-language pathologists are the most frequent providers of services to infants and toddlers who have disabilities and their families. Because of this role, they are often involved with the family in the development of the individualized family service plan (IFSP). The Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children has developed a set of recommended practices for the development of the IFSP that reflects family-centered practices. This article describes those recommended practices and provides a summary of recent research examining their use in Kansas as an example of how they can be used as a component of program review. The authors also provide suggestions of how speech-language pathologists can apply recommended practices in developing family-centered IFSPs for young children with speech and/or language disabilities.
