480 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 1, § 014 - NOTIFICATION IN NATIVE LANGUAGE

All notices must be written in language understandable to the general public and in the family's native language, including the following considerations, unless clearly not feasible to do so.

014.01 EXPLANATION OF SERVICES. The services coordinator explains to the family, in a way that they can understand, what the Early Intervention Program has to offer and the process for determining eligibility under early intervention. If the native language or other mode of communication of the parent is not a written language, the services coordinator must take steps to ensure that

(A) The notice is translated orally or by other means to the parent in the parent's native language or other mode of communication;

(B) The parent understands the notice; and

(C) There is written evidence that these requirements have been met.

014.02 FAMILY RIGHTS. Families must be provided written notice of their right to a timely, comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation for the child, including assessment activities related to the child, and, if eligible, the provision of appropriate early intervention services.

014.03 SERVICE PLAN MEETING NOTICE. Families must be provided written notice of Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) meetings with adequate time for them to make arrangements to attend. These meetings should be arranged around the family's ability to attend.
