You need the full name of the package:

with Ada.Characters.Handling;
procedure Foo is
    A : CHARACTER;
begin
    ... other code that sets A

    if Ada.Characters.Handling.Is_Control (A) then
     ...
    end if;
end Foo;

or you can use the `use' clause:

with Ada.Characters.Handling;
use Ada.Characters.Handling;
procedure Foo is
    A : CHARACTER;
begin
    ... other code that sets A

    if Is_Control (A) then
     ...
    end if;
end Foo;

Happy coding!
