This document outlines the procedural safeguards under Arizona's Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) as mandated by IDEA. It emphasizes the necessity for prior written notice to parents before any actions regarding their child's services, including identification, evaluation, and placement. The notice must be clear and in a language parents understand, ensuring they are informed about the proposed actions, reasons, and available procedural safeguards. This helps families make educated decisions regarding the supports and services for their child. For more details, visit www.azdes.gov/azeip.
