D. Associate Centers

Since a goal of the 1MC/RMC Network is to provide needed and equal servicesto'idi special educators, it became necessary to develop local centers called associate, satellite, or affiliate centersthat are readily accessible to the potential users. At present, there are approximamly 300associate centers providing local service throughout the country. This number is flexible and changes as the network expandsand as local, state, and federal monies become available for associate centers. For those who want alist of the associate centers, organized by state, a separate document is available from:

The Regional Resource Centers will provide advice and technical services uponwhich educators in the region can draw to improve the education of handicapped children. Theprimary task is to provide diagnostic evaluations of individual children and develop a prescriptive educational program to meetthe child's particular requirements. Working closely with the handicapped child's parents andteachers, the centers would then assist the school or other appropriate agencies in providing this program byperiodical re-examination and re-evaluation. Twelve RRCs are expected to be funded by the end of Fiscal Year 1971.At present, six are operatic aal.
