Details:

The procedural safeguards (family rights) required by Part C of IDEA are intended to protect the interests of families who have infants and toddlers with special needs and the interests of the Early On system. Procedural safeguards are the checks and balances of the system, not a piece separate from the system. Early On system personnel are legally obligated to explain procedural safeguards to families and to support an active adherence to, and understanding of, these safeguards.

This training will cover all the requirements of procedural safeguards including: records & confidentiality; notice/native language; consent; administrative resolution of individual hearing issues; and complaint procedures. Vignettes will be studied to aid in problem-solving some issues that may occur in practice.
