The intent of the additional categories of children with high needs is really to make sure we include those programs who may not serve children with DHS subsidies (such as public schools). We do not require that programs serve children in all of those categories, so please only give information on those you are able to confirm meet those particular criteria. For example, a center could indicate children with IFSPs or IEPs if they have IFSPs/IEPs on file for each of those children. Or if a program participates in school lunch program, they would know which of the children receives free or reduced lunch. Each category is a little different, but an early learning/child care center should only report those children they can show meet those high needs areas.
