Wyandotte Center Program Referral Packet (PDF) (8PP, 987KB) (About PDF)

Referral Process
Referral to Madison starts with a student's resident district’s Special Education department. Since the program is center-based and considered restrictive, the student referral process includes a review of less restrictive options in the resident district. When student needs require a center-based program, a referral may be made to Madison. Student profiles, parent questionnaires, resident district IEPs,  assessments and documentation are all included in the intake packet to start the referral process.
