Development of an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) for children receiving Part H services is an integral part of North Carolina's interagency Child Service Coordination Program. Perceptions of the IFSP process were assessed in a statewide survey of child service coordinators. Divergent viewpoints about the usefulness and process of developing the IFSP emerged, depending on the program with which the child service coordinator worked. These findings have implications for training professionals about the IFSP process in the context of strengthening the implementation of interagency, comprehensive service coordination programs.
