  7. Mission and Key Principles Mission: Part C early intervention builds upon and provides supports and resources to assist family members and caregivers to enhance children’s learning and development through everyday learning opportunities.

  8. Mission and Key Principles Key Principles: Infants and toddlers learn best through everyday experiences and interactions with familiar people in familiar contexts. All families, with the necessary supports and resources, can enhance their children’s learning and development. The primary role of a service provider in early intervention is to work with and support family members and caregivers in children’s lives.

  9. Mission and Key Principles Key Principles: The early intervention process, from initial contacts through transition, must be dynamic and individualized to reflect the child’s and family members’ preferences, learning styles and cultural beliefs. Interventions with young children and family members must be based on explicit principles, validated practices, best available research, and relevant laws and regulations. The family’s priorities, needs and interests are addressed most appropriately by a primary provider who represents and receives team and community support.

  10. Mission and Key Principles Key Principles: • IFSP outcomes must be functional and based on children’s and families’ needs and family-identified priorities.

  17. What people are saying! Local tiny-k Coordinator “The new IFSP has given staff an opportunity to really see how the levels of development and priorities of the family can provide extremely functional, measureable goals for child and family.”

  18. IFSP Guidance Document • Introduction • Kansas Infant Toddler Services has created this IFSP Guidance Document to assist local tiny-k program in completing the IFSP process using the Statewide IFSP.

  19. IFSP Guidance Document • Introduction • The IFSP is MORE than jus paperwork! It is a PROCESS! • The form is just a way to document discussions with families. • It guides local tiny-k program teams through a process that will lead to meaningful outcomes for children and families based upon daily routines and activities.

  20. IFSP Guidance Document • Introduction • IFSP form updates • Periodically, KDHE will update the IFSP form and accompanying documents. • Always check the KS ITS website before starting a new IFSP for the most up to date forms. This will ensure the use of the correct forms.

  21. IFSP Guidance Document • Introduction • Linking the IFSP with the Infant Toddler Database • For blanks occurring in the IFSP document, please use N/A when you don’t need to fill out the information or if it doesn’t apply. Or 00/00/00 for numeric blanks.

  22. IFSP Guidance Document • Design – • Each section of this document is based upon a page of the IFSP • Within each section you will find the following information • Purpose of the IFSP Page • Numbered Line-by-Line Guidance for completing the IFSP Page • Image of the IFSP demonstrating the Guidance • Tips • Kansas Shape highlighting special considerations or examples

  23. Each IFSP must be INDIVIDUAIZED. The examples provided can be used to stimulate your thinking and conversations with team members. The examples CANNOT be used as a formula or prescribed way to write that section of the IFSP. IFSP Guidance Document

  24. What people are saying! Parent “I love the way my tiny-k program works. Even thoughyou have age limit for your services, you still show families a path to the future help. That was definitely a lot for families in need.”

  25. IFSP Cover Page This page has been added so that each local tiny-k program can design their own cover page. You may include a photo of the child or family as desired.

  26. Child and Family Information • This page serves as the place to capture a variety of required demographic information about the child and family that will be entered into the ITS Database as well as information on the IFSP dates and timelines

  27. Child and Family Information Much of the information on this page can be completed upon referral or at any time before the IFSP meeting. If the information is recorded before the IFSP meeting, it should be reviewed with the family for accuracy at the meeting.

  29. Child and Family Information • Important Dates
