"Family support organization (FSO)" means an independent community-based organization providing services through a contract with the Department of Children and Families.

"Individual Service Plan (ISP)" means the plan developed by the child/family team that incorporates formal and informal services and supports into an integrated plan that, using the identified strengths of the youth and family, addresses the needs of the youth and family across life domains in order to support the youth and family in remaining in, or returning to, the community where they live, work and/or attend school.
