Child Indicators The information gathered during the evaluation and Child and Family Assessment is used to complete the Child Entry Indicator Summary • Explain the purpose of completing the Child Entry Indicators • Ensure that you have a Decision Making Tree and Definitions of the Ratings • Complete Child Indicators Entry Form with the family

  9. Initial Assessment Process • Summarize the assessment visit: • Review the information gathered during the assessment to support the development of the IFSP • Priorities identified may become outcomes • Natural Resources are considered when developing steps and services necessary to meet the outcomes

  10. Annual Assessment Planning • Prior ( 1-2 weeks) to the annual assessment meeting, the Team Lead or Service Coordinator will: • Provide and explain the Child and Family Assessment Guide for Families • Ask the family which family members they would like to participate

  11. Annual Assessment The Child and Family Assessment: • Must include the service coordinator and at least one IFSP team member • May be conducted as a separate visit or prior to the beginning of the Annual IFSP Meeting • Must include Consent for Child Assessment • Unless clearly not feasible, must be provided in the language normally used by the parents; for the purposes of the child assessment, the language normally used by the child, if determined developmentally appropriate

  12. Annual Assessment Process Team members • Review the purpose of assessment and explain the process. • Ask family if they had time to look at or complete the Child and Family Assessment Guide and wish to use it in the discussion • Offer a copy of the Guide if the family doesn’t have it (not to complete but to reference during the discussion) • Document the discussion on the Child and Family Assessment Pages of the IFSP

  13. IFSP • If held as a separate meeting, the annual IFSP can be scheduled with the family at the conclusion of the annual assessment • If combined, the team continues the discussion and completes the annual IFSP • All team members required for each meeting should arrive together and not leave until the end of the meeting, unless there is a break between the two.
