Coming February 2025

Beginning in February 2025, parents or guardians of a child with an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will have access to the ACHIEVE Family Portal. The portal provides 24/7 access to your child’s early intervention (birth-3) or special education (3-21) information. The ACHIEVE Family Portal is an optional, online tool that supports your engagement in the IFSP/IEP process.

Account Creation is Optional

Families choose whether or not to create an account. You will still have access to records and information outside of the ACHIEVE Family Portal without an account. The portal does not replace person-to-person communication and collaboration with the IFSP or IEP team.

Access Anytime from Anywhere

There are no apps to download. You can access your child’s education records from your phone, tablet or computer anywhere you have internet access. Don’t worry if you don’t have internet access; you can still receive paper copies at your IFSP or IEP meeting.
