What is the Difference Between an IFSP and an IEP?

This 2011 information sheet from PACER Center discusses the differences between an IFSP and an IEP. After explaining the differences, it provides a chart listing the features of an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The chart may help to clarify the differences and avoid confusion as one discusses services for a young child.
