CHILD IDENTIFICATION
Child identification is the system throughout Wyoming that searches for and locates children, from birth through 21, who have handicapping conditions, which affect their education progress. School districts have programs and services to assist children from birth through age 5 and are able to refer them to other agencies for services. The division of Community Programs in the Department of Health and Social Services contracts with regional child development centers which are private non-profit organizations to provide services to preschool children. The division of Community Programs uses funds provided by the State of Wyoming and federal funds for the education of handicapped children provided through the Wyoming Department of Education.
School districts are responsible for identifying and planning for the education needs of children with handicapping conditions. If you have questions about your child’s development or progress at any age, contact the Child Identification Coordinator for Platte County School District #2, Lisa Weigel (877-202-1020).
