This paper is a preliminary report on the development of alternate forms of an attitude scale to assess parents' and professionals' views toward the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) process, a process evolving as a result of Federal regulations regarding early-intervention services. Development of the set of attitude scales is unique in that: (1) parents and professionals are considered as equals with different forms of the instrument having comparable content with minor changes in phrasing, and (2) alternate instrument forms allow for long-range, repeated measures of how attitudes change over time in response to implementation of a Federal mandate, the IFSP. The item development for scale construction is reported, as well as the method by which six alternate forms (three for use with parents and three for use with professionals) were constructed. Forms were developed with the input of 18 parents and professionals in focus groups, and versions of the test were tested on 54 parents and 60 professionals. Continued lines of research for psychometric validation of the reliability of the instruments is identified for future research. An appendix presents the scales.
