It is my philosophy that IFSP goals should be driven by family wants and needs. IFSP goals should be observable, measurable, and written in parent friendly language. An ideal IFSP goal should be able to be read by any family member or professional and still make sense. Goals should be created around families' routines within their natural environments.
The following is a brochure I created to help families understand the many sections of the IFSP. It could be useful to give this to parents before the IFSP is in front of them so that they know what to expect and how to best participate in the meeting.
