(Rating: 1-7) Question A • Has the child shown any new skills or behaviors related to this indicator since the last indicator summary? (yes-no) Question B Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia

  7. Documenting the Rating • If the IFSP narrative is done well, it will save the IFSP team from documenting on the second page of the CISF • See sample narrative Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia

  8. Quality Assurance • As providers, we are reporting the child progress on the children we serve. We MUST ensure that we are being objective and consistent. • The documentation in the IFSP or on the CISF will show an external reviewer how we came to each determination.

  9. Quality Assurance • It is imperative that from time to time, we stop to reflect upon our practice, meet with other IFSP teams and review one another’s decisions on the determination. Infant & Toddler Connection of Virginia
