Arizona Early Intervention ProgramIDEA 2011 RequirementsProcedural Safeguards-Prior Written Notice and Consent-
Prior Written Notice Prior Written Notice is required under IDEA, Part C to ensure families are provided information about the actions being proposed or refused surrounding their child’s participation in AzEIP before the action takes place.
Prior Written Notice Is intended to give families information so they can make informed choices and decisions in the delivery of supports and services for their child and family.
Prior Written Notice Must be given to the parents a reasonable time before the Early Intervention Program proposes or refuses to initiate or change: • Identification (screening); • Evaluation; • Placement (eligibility); and • The provision of appropriate early intervention services.
Prior Written Notice The notice must be in sufficient detail to inform the parent about: • The action that is being proposed or refused; • The reasons for taking the action; and • All procedural safeguards available under the federal regulations, including a description of mediation, how to file a complaint and a due process hearing, and the timelines under those procedures.
Prior Written Notice The notice must be: • understandable to the general public, and • provided in the native language of the parent, unless it is clearly not feasible to do so. • if the native language or other mode of communication of the parent is not a written language, the notice must be translated orally or by other means to the parent in the parent’s native language or other mode of communication, unless clearly not feasible to do so.
