Abstract
This qualitative descriptive study delves into the awareness and systematic implementation challenges surrounding Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) for deaf children in Pakistan. Through semi-structured interviews with parents, professionals, and NGO representatives, the research highlights a pervasive lack of awareness among stakeholders, limited access to early screenings, and an absence of formal institutes providing comprehensive support. Thematic analysis of the interview data reveals recurring themes such as limited systematic mechanisms and efforts, limited involvement of professionals in IFSPs, fragmented services and lack of coordination, and barriers to accessibility. The findings underscore the urgency of comprehensive awareness campaigns, systematic screenings, interdisciplinary training, and advocacy for government involvement to address the multifaceted barriers to effective IFSP implementation.
