System Complaint

If you believe there has been any violation of the requirements and regulations of IDEA, Part C, including a violation of your child's or family's rights, you may file a complaint with DES/AzEIP.

Steps in initiating a complaint:

1. You must send a written, signed complaint to:
   Executive Director, DES/AzEIP
   3839 N. 3rd Street, Suite 304
   Phoenix, Arizona 85012
   
2. The written, signed complaint must include a statement that there has been a violation of a requirement or regulation of IDEA, Part C, and the facts of the situation.
   
3. The Executive Director or a designee will review the complaint and decide if it is a valid complaint. A complaint will be judged valid if the alleged violation occurred not more than one year before the date the complaint was received, unless:
   1. the alleged violation continues for the child or other children; or
   2. the person making the complaint is requesting reimbursement or corrective action for a violation that occurred not more than three years before the complaint was received.
      
4. If the complaint is judged to be valid, then the Executive Director or a designee will review all the relevant information and will:
   1. conduct an on-site investigation, if necessary; and
   2. give the person making the complaint the opportunity to submit additional information, either orally or in writing.

The Executive Director or a designee will make an independent decision as to whether there has been a violation of IDEA, Part C and send a written copy of the decision to all parties within 60 days of receiving the complaint.
