Since beginning in 1995, WI FACETS has had a vision that all children receive the education they need to be successful. Founded by a small group of committed parents who had a strong desire to help other families – when our doors opened, we had 2 part time staff, a tiny office, and served just one community. Since then, WI FACETS has grown greatly. We now have a much larger, diverse staff who serve the entire state through a wide variety of programs designed to assist individuals, families and professionals.
