Policies are presented in five chapters covering: (1) consent to assessment, evaluation and services; (2) notice of parents' rights and of proposed actions; (3) right to review and correct records; (4) confidentiality of personally identifying information; and (5) administrative procedures for resolving parents' complaints.
