From Autism Transition Handbook
The Individual Support Plan, or ISP, is a working document that can be helpful to you, your family member, and other people in his/her life. The ISP uses a person centered planning approach and provides details about what is important to your child, and is a supportive document to your child and you, because it holds information necessary in times of emergency. It contains information such as personal preferences, dreams, and wishes, medical history/medical concerns, how your child communicates, and any information that people will need to know to assist your child to be healthy, safe, and happy. The ISP is updated at least annually, and will include the details of your child's supports and services. More information is available at the:
