With respect to compliance with the agreement made under subsection (a) of this section, an entity to which subsection (a) of this section applies may be required to offer, encourage, and provide early intervention services only to the extent that the amount of the grant is sufficient to pay the costs of offering, encouraging, and providing the services.

(1) offers such services to the individuals, and encourages the individuals to receive the services, as a regular practice in the course of providing the health care involved; and

(2) provides the early intervention services only with the consent of the individuals.
