This checklist includes key characteristics of authentic assessment practices for observing child participation in everyday activities, the real world learning opportunities that occur in the activities, child behavior in the everyday learning opportunities, and the particular learning opportunities that provide a child the richest array of competency-enhancing learning opportunities.
The Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) is a written plan that is developed for each eligible infant and toddler with a disability. The Part C regulations specify, at 34 CFR §§303.342 - 303.345, the procedures that State Lead Agencies and early intervention service providers must follow to develop, review, and revise an IFSP for each child. The document below sets out the IFSP content that those regulations require.
Informed clinical reasoning is a process team members use to gather information about a child’s developmental functioning in order to make decisions about the child’s eligibility for intervention services. The process requires knowledge of both typical and atypical child development and involves gathering information about the child’s functioning using interviews with parents and other caregivers, direct observations of the child, and review of results from evaluations and developmental assessment instruments. These elements constitute the foundation for becoming “informed” about a child’s developmental abilities and needs in
the context of everyday activities or natural environments.
