the department and such parent or person in parental relation agree in
writing; or
(ii) The department provides the parent or person in parental relation
with a written proposal to amend a provision or provisions of the
individualized education program that is conveyed in language
understandable to the parent or person in parental relation in such
parent's or such person's native language or other dominant mode of
communication, informs and allows the parent or person in parental
relation the opportunity to consult with the appropriate personnel or
related service providers concerning the proposed changes and the parent
or person in parental relation agrees in writing to such amendments.
(iii) If the parent or person in parental relation agrees to amend the
individualized education program without a meeting, the parent or person
in parental relation shall be provided prior written notice of the

such changes. If the department makes such changes by rewriting the
entire individualized education program, it shall provide the parent or
person in parental relation with a copy of the rewritten individualized
education program. If the department amends the individualized education
program without rewriting the entire document, the department shall
provide the parent or person in parental relation with a copy of the
document that amends or modifies the individualized education program
or, upon request of the parent or person in parental relation, a revised
copy of the individualized education program with the amendments
incorporated.
Amendments to an individualized education program pursuant to this
paragraph shall not affect the requirement that the multidisciplinary
team review the individualized education program at the annual meeting,
or more often if necessary.
