Regional Centers for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN)

WCYSHCN people
Promoting quality care for children and youth with special health care needs in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has five Regional Centers dedicated to supporting families with children and youth with special health care needs and the providers who serve them. The Centers are staffed by specialists who can help get answers, find services, and connect you to community resources. Their services are free and private.

Physicians may refer a child with special health care needs to a Regional Center using this Consent to Release Medical Information Referral form F-01238. (PDF)
