Introduction

Introduction:
While many Early Intervention Brokers have developed file review checklists for the purpose of programmatic quality assurance, it is more challenging to assess quality in a completed Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP). The Quality IFSP & Outcomes (QIO) Tool is a way to review quality in a standardized way. It is based largely on the work of Naomi Younggren of the Educational and Developmental Intervention Services, Department of Defense, and has been adapted from the Kansas Quality Indicator Rubric. The EI Colorado QIO Tool has been designed to align with the Colorado IFSP form, the Colorado Early Intervention Data System, and the IFSP training and instruction manual.

The QIO Tool is meant to be used by local programs as part of their continuous quality improvement efforts and as a tool in the State’s IFSP review and verification process. To share feedback and/or potential bugs please use the QIO Tool Feedback form.
