The Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) has called on the public to offer their perspectives regarding proposed changes to its Early Intervention Records Procedure. This procedure lays down the steps that Service Providing Agencies (SPAs) must follow to disclose any portion of a child's Complete Child Record, as reported by the Department of Economic Security's website.
The period for public commentary kicked off on November 10, 2025, and runs through December 12, 2025, providing a month-long window for caregivers, service providers, and concerned citizens to make their voices heard. Input can be conveniently submitted via the AzEIP Public Comment form, ensuring an accessible platform for those with internet access to weigh in on the policy revision.
Recognizing that some may not have online access, the program also offers a traditional postal option to submit comments, thus ensuring an inclusive approach to gathering feedback. The Arizona Early Intervention Program can receive mailed commentary at 1789 West Jefferson Street, Mail Drop 2HP1, Phoenix, AZ, 85007.
Emphasizing the importance of privacy, the AzEIP urges commenters not to include any confidential or inappropriate information for public disclosure. This precaution is meant to safeguard the privacy of individuals while allowing for transparent discussion of the proposed changes in procedure. The focus on child record disclosure by SPAs underscores the delicate balance between necessary information sharing and the preservation of individual privacy, a core tenet of the program's responsibility to Arizona's families.
