do you mean register? If so, it is a list of children in school that need extra help in certain areas of their learning. Children on the register are usually given an IEP (independent education plan) setting targets for them to work towards that are achievable. The list is not set in stone and if the extra help means the child improves then they come off the register.

Does the child have a diagnosis yet? If so, then they automatically send his/her name to a certain department. It is logged in at the doctors and the school would also have a record. If you need Behavior Intervention, try calling the regional center in your area. They do a evaluation on the child to see the severity of the diagnosis after that they decide whether or not they child needs help and they referr other agencies to go to your home and help you.

This is different in different countries...
In the United States, you can apply for all services through your local Department of Social Services and your child will be registered there as a potential candidate for specific programs to suit his/her needs. Department of Medical Assistance Services is another agency that will hold registry on a child to match services with needs and to determine eligibility of waivers and additional services.
There's a form you fill out in some cities/counties (contrary to the above remark, it doesn't appear to be too terrible if you go about it with a clear head) where the needs of your child/family will be recorded and I guess this is how services are determined. I'll send a link to a sample: http://www.sbtnj.net/pdf/specialneeds.pdf
That one is from South Brunswick Township in New Jersey, USA and it's only three pages long (which isn't a lot to fill out to get services for your child!) Many forms (like the one I just sent) can be filled out online.
As for the remark about labeling a child? Firstly, labels can be removed. Secondly, they often don't need to be removed because those of us who have children with disabilities have come to learn that "Labels equal Services" and if your child has a label... it doesn't mean anything more than that your child will receive necessary services so that he/she can have the best situation and outcome.
The "People First" mentality is taking hold. Children with "labels" are not their label any longer. They are a child with special needs. They may use a wheelchair for mobility or an interpreter for their sign language or require a respirator for adequate oxygen intake. They may be health impaired, developmentally delayed or language disordered but they are no longer gorks, cripples, mutes or Mongoloids. Let's not confuse labels with ignorance :)
My personal best to you and please contact me offlist if I can be of assistance to you in any way as you seek services for your child.

This sis the end result of what is known as statementing a child.
Basically, professionals look at the child and determine whether he is eligible for extra funding from the gov.
It is a long and grueling processs which can stigmatise the child and the ardous interviews and although necessary, many parents may avoid it

it's for children who have learning problems
for instance adhd or dyslexia or even speech problems
to be on this register you need what is called a statement for your child's education authority
most teachers tend to say it takes years to get one but if you phone them direct it takes 6 weeks
it helps with the education system and child

there is no need to keep a register anymore altho most schools still do...it identifies any child who is having difficulties learning:
school action - class teacher provides something different to + inadditon to "normal"lesson if no progress...
school action plus - as above plus help from outside agencies...if no progress there is the statement of special needs....to be honest this is a long process and often parents/carers have to be very pushy!!
