The IFSP and Parents with Special Needs/Mental Retardation.

Espe-Sherwindt, Marilyn

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v11 n3 p107-20 Fall 1991

This article examines Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) developed with parents with special needs/mental retardation in a model early intervention program. Results suggest that such parents can participate fully in the IFSP process when the process stresses relationship building, empowerment, interagency collaboration, and program implementation and evaluation.
