Prioritization for Urgency of Need for Services (PUNS)
Prioritization for Urgency of Need for Services (PUNS) is a database of Illinois children, adolescents, and adults with developmental disabilities who want or need developmental disability services. The PUNS database helps the Division of Developmental Disabilities identify and plan for your services. Registering in PUNS is the first and most important step you and your family can take to receive Home and Community Based Waiver services from the Illinois Department of Human Services/Division of Developmental Disabilities.
Parents who need help understanding the PUNS database, the steps needed to register students, how to contact the appropriate developmental disabilities Independent Service Coordination Agency (ISC), and the documentation and information parents/guardians will need for the registration process, may contact the following BSD2 designated PUNS trained staff for assistance:
Blackhawk Middle School: Mary Hamilton, mhamilton@bsd2.org
Tioga School: Kris Stalzer, kstalzer@bsd2.org
Tioga Pre-Kindergarten: Christy Poli, cpoli@bsd2.org
W. A. Johnson School: Sarah Commike, scommike@bsd2.org
