At ICC we imagine the capacity of an individual with a disability when parents, teachers, classmates, support staff and the community have a wide and diverse range of tools to support the person in reaching his or her fullest potential. Our primary goal is to help individuals who struggle with social, emotional, cognitive or physical development in some way that inhibits their ability to forge relationships and fully function in our community.

LOV Inc. supports tribal families that include individuals with disabilities.
Our Family Navigator works with families to identify their individual needs through one-on-one consultations and connecting families with resources and services that may be available through county, state, or tribal programs.

WECP is affiliated with the University of Wisconsin through the Graduate School. Designed to meet the needs of a developmentally diverse group of young children, it also provides a site for university research and training.
Our program goals are:
1. Service: to provide an exemplary inclusive child development program for children developing typically and for those with special needs.
2. Training: to provide disciplinary and interdisciplinary training to university students.
3. Research: to provide a research setting in which relevant educational and developmental issues can be studied.
4. Outreach: to provide community consultation and professional development opportunities about early childhood development, education and inclusion to programs and individuals.
The goal of the WECP is to provide a supportive and enriching environment that will foster each child’s social, emotional, cognitive, language, and physical development. The program incorporates the nurturing aspects of a home environment, and social and learning opportunities provided in a group early education setting. The typical day provides opportunities for discovery, constructive and imaginary play; language arts and literacy; music, art and creative projects; and science, technology and math experiences. Grounded in the belief that children learn through play, there are many opportunities for children to direct their own activities, explore the environment and follow their interests.
