This video provides information about the services and the process that takes place for families who are enrolling in Early Start, and getting ready for their first IFSP meeting. This video explains what an IFSP is for their 0-3-year-old who may be at risk for delays, or who has delays or a disability, what you can expect at that meeting as a parent, as well as a little bit about what your rights are. This is the first in a series of videos to help families who are new to the IFSP.
