Tries to get small local grants to expand time for their staff (center
coordinators work 15-20 hours/ week). Some agencies they train then provide
support and serve as community supports. Statewide Center, Fox Valley, Milwaukee
Metro & Racine offices are all wheelchair accessible; Central, South &
North staff have offices in their homes. (Staff meet parents in accessible
public facilities.) South Center home office will be accessible July 1st, 2004.
