Instructions: Interim IFSP
A document to initiate services when there is
obvious need prior to the completion of the evaluation
and assessment. The services may begin before
the completion of the evaluation and assessment
if:
- (1) parental consent is obtained; and
- (2) an interim IFSP is developed that lists
the name of the services coordinator and the
early intervention services that have been determined
to be needed immediately by the child and the
child's family.
An interim IFSP does
not change the requirement for the
completion of the initial IFSP within 45 days
and the required initiation of services. If exceptional
circumstances make it impossible to complete the
evaluation and the assessment within 45 days,
these circumstances must be documented, and an
interim IFSP must be developed and implemented
to the extent appropriate. [IDEA: 34 CFR 303.345,
34 CFR 303.322(e)]
