Each system must include policies and procedures to ensure, consistent with [§§ 303.13(a)(8)](/cfr/34/303.13.md?p=a-8) (early intervention services), 303.26 (natural environments), and 303.344(d)(1)(ii) (content of an IFSP), that early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities are provided—

- (a) To the maximum extent appropriate, in natural environments; and
- (b) In settings other than the natural environment that are most appropriate, as determined by the parent and the IFSP Team, only when early intervention services cannot be achieved satisfactorily in a natural environment.
