Question 3 of 4: How are global child outcomes different than IFSP outcomes?

Incorrect. Try again.

Hint: IFSP outcomes/IEP goals focus on what a child (and/or family, for IFSPs) will accomplish over the short-term. Global child outcomes address areas of improvement expected all children as a result of participating in an early intervention or early childhood special education program.

They are not different. They are exactly the same.
They are a standard set of outcomes that describe the benefits we expect for all children receiving early intervention or early childhood special education services.
They focus on the needs of the family.
They are an array of specific outcomes that describe what an individual child will achieve.
