WVBTT may not use the due process hearing procedures under
Part C or Part B of the IDEA to challenge your refusal to provide
any consent required. In addition, as the parent of a child eligible
under the WVBTT, you may determine whether you, your child or
other family members will accept or decline any early intervention
services under this system at any time in accordance with West
Virginia law and federal
regulations.

Participation in the Part C early intervention system for infants and
toddlers is voluntary for you and your family. You may:
• Accept all services agreed to on the IFSP;
• Decline all services agreed to on the IFSP;
• Accept one or some of the services agreed to on the IFSP
and decline other service(s); or
• Decline a service after first accepting it without jeopardiz-
ing other early intervention services under WVBTT.

Native Language
Native language, when used with respect to an individual who is
limited English proficient or LEP (as that term is defined in section
602(18) of the Act), means:
• The language normally used by that individual or, in the
case of a child, the language normally used by the parents
of the child except as provided below; and
• For evaluations and assessments conducted pursuant to
§303.321(a)(5) and (a)(6), the language normally used by
the child, if determined developmentally appropriate for
the child by qualified personnel conducting the evaluation
or
assessment.

Native language, when used with respect to an individual who is
deaf or hard of hearing, blind or visually impaired, or for an individ-
ual with no written language, means the mode of communication
that is normally used by the individual (such as sign language,
Braille, or oral
communica- tion).
