Data from thousands of IFSP goals tell us about functionality of plans. We will examine the Goal Functionality Scale, give guidelines for practitioners, present the predictors of functional goal-writing, and the relationship between goal-functionality and child functional performance. The DEC RPs addressed are A8, A9, F3, and F7 among others.
