  • To recieve written notice within a "reasonable amount of time before a change is made to your child's services
  • To used established conflict resolution processes such as mediation and due process hearings
  • Under IDEA part C families are guaranteed three formal ways to resolve disagreements 1. Mediation 2. Due Process Hearings 3. System Complaint
