Resources for Children with Developmental Disabilities
The Instructional Learning Program would like to provide parents of students with developmental disabilities information and resources that can assist your family. Navigating the state's disability system can be a daunting experience. Below is a PDF file to "The Book" which outlines the services available and the steps necessary to access these services.
Also, if you have not already done so, it is very important for you to register your student with PUNS. The state of Illinois has a system for providing funding through the Department of Human Services. The first step toward obtaining services in Illinois is the completion of the PUNS (Prioritization of Urgency of Need for Services) survey. In order to be eligible for PUNS funding, you must register your student as a person in need of support and update it annually. Registration is a two-step process; first the completion of paperwork and second a meeting with an Independent Service Coordination Agent. These meetings can be arranged through the Day One Network in Geneva, 630-879-2277.
Additional information is provided in the PDF file below titled PUNS and also at the Department of Human Services website www.dhs.state.il.us_
