A parent participating in Early Intervention Colorado has specific rights and safeguards to resolve disagreements related to their experience in Early Intervention. A parent or guardian has the right to three methods to resolve allegations that an Early Intervention state or federal statute has been violated. The Local EI Program is responsible for assuring parents' rights to:
- Request mediation at any time to ensure a parent has access to a non-adversarial process for the resolution of their disagreement.
- File a state complaint to resolve a disagreement with a CCB or Early Intervention Service Provider on the identification, evaluation, placement or provision of Early Intervention services.
- Request a due process hearing as a formal procedure to file a state complaint and seek resolution to a disagreement.
