• Where services will be provided;

Multidisciplinary: The involvement of two or more disciplines or
professions in the provision of integrated and coordinated services
including evaluation and assessment activities and development of
the IFSP.

Non Discriminatory: The evaluation and assessment of children
and families under WVBTT/Part C shall be administered in a
manner that assures at a minimum: (1) tests and other evaluation
materials and procedures are administered in the native language
of the parents or other mode of communication, unless it is clearly
not feasible to do so; (2) any assessment and evaluation
procedures and materials used are not to be racially or culturally
discriminatory; (3) no single procedure is used as the sole criterion
for determining a child’s eligibility under this part; and (4)
evaluations and assessments are conducted by qualified
personnel.

Parent: (1) A natural or adoptive parent of a child; (2) a guardian;
(3) a person acting in the place of a parent (such as a grandparent
or stepparent with whom the child lives, or a person who is legally
responsible for the child’s welfare); or (4) a surrogate parent who
has been assigned in accordance with the requirements of Part C.

Participating Agency: Any individual, agency, entity, or institution
that collects, maintains, or uses personally identifiable information
to implement the requirements in Part C of the IDEA and its
implementing regulations with respect to a particular child. A
participating agency includes WVBTT, RAUs, and any individual or
entity that provides any Part C services (including service
coordination, evaluations and assessments, and other Part C
services) but does not include primary referral sources, public
agencies, or private entities that act solely as funding sources for
Part C services.

Personally Identifiable Information: Includes but is not limited
to: (1) the name of your child, your name, or the name of other
family members; (2) the address of your child; (3) a personal
identifier, such as your child's or your social security number or a
biometric record; (4) other indirect identifiers, such as the child’s
date of birth, place of birth, and mother’s maiden name; (5) other
information that alone or in combination is linked or linkable to a
specific child that would allow a reasonable person in the early
intervention system who does not have personal knowledge of the
relevant circumstance, to identify the child with reasonable
certainty; or (6) information requested by a person who WVBTT
reasonably believes knows the identity of the child to whom the
early intervention record relates.
