The Roadmap for Assessing Meaningful Participation (RAMP) is an assessment tool to assist parents and early intervention providers to identify and analyze interest-based opportunities to promote child development and functional participation prior to the development of the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).

The RAMP Manual
Contains instructions and conversation flow charts for using the RAMP to gather information about child interests and family routines, conducting a functional assessment, and generating child learning outcomes.

The RAMP Workbook
