Other Resources – Statewide

The Regional Centers work with a number of partners across Wisconsin to help families receive the services they need. Some of our other statewide resources include:

  • Advocacy and Benefits Counseling for Health is (ABC for Health) a Wisconsin-based nonprofit public interest law firm dedicated to ensuring health care access for children and families, particularly those with special needs or who are at risk. ABC for Health’s mission is to provide health care consumers with the information, advocacy tools, legal services and expert support they need to navigate through the complex and confusing health care financing system.
  • Family Voices of Wisconsin (FVW) is a statewide non-profit organization focused on supporting the voice of families in decision-making, leadership and systems change roles. FVW provides information, training and support around health care and community services to families throughout the state and supports essential partnerships between families and professionals.
  • The Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council on Children/Youth With Special Health Care Needs is a program that assists in providing information, resources, professional support, advocacy, parental training/education, social service coordination, assistance and aid in resolving specific concerns or needs regarding a child’s disability to Native American families in tribal communities in rural northern Wisconsin.

  • Parent to Parent of Wisconsin provides parent support to parents of children with special needs through a one-to-one connection with another parent who has similar experience and who knows firsthand about the feelings and reality that comes with having a child with special needs.
