This study investigated the effects of service coordinator variables on evidence of recommended practice in a sample of 120 Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs). Service coordinator variables were months of experience, college major, level of degree, first service delivery model practiced, and attendance at training. The IFSPs were rated on 12 indicators of recommended practice using the IFSP Rating Scale (Mc William & Jung, 2001). Service coordinators' months of experience and attendance in training had the strongest relationships with IFSP quality indicators. Results and implications for further research are discussed.
