Instructions
For Present Levels of Development Pages (4,5,6)
The
IFSP must include a statement of the child's present
levels
of development, including:
- vision,
hearing, health status (on page 4),
- cognitive
development,, communication skills development,
social/emotional development (on page 5)
- self-help/adaptive
development, fine and gross motor skills (on
page 6).
The
statement of the child's present level of development
must be based upon professionally acceptable
objective criteria. [34 CFR 303.344(a)(1) and
(2)]
Date
of Evaluation/Age of Child: Record the
dates of any evaluation, observation, procedures,
reports that document the child's development
and the child's age at the time of those evaluations
for each area of development. Dates must specify
month, date, and year.
Current
Abilities: A brief narrative statement
is written describing the child's achievement
of developmental milestone(s) in that area. Developmental
age levels or age ranges may also be included.
However, specific evaluation/assessment instruments
and scores do not need to be listed on the IFSP,
but are to be recorded within the multidisciplinary
team (MDT) evaluation report. The goal is to give
a baseline of where the child is in order to develop
an appropriate intervention support plan.
Note:
Dotted lines are provided for updated information
on the child's achievements in each area at the
time of the periodic review or as further evaluations
are completed.
