Thanks to the Transition Advisory Committee Members: Ellen Nicholson, Michael Denney, Victoria Reilly, Leslie Lederer, Beth Harrison, Stella Smith, John Yuen and Joanna Yuen, and Marie Allison Compiled and edited by: Linda Wainscott, Patty Dempsey, Linda Thomas and Joseph Palmer Definition of Transition Services 707 KAR 1:002 Section 1 (62)(a)(b)(c) Transition services means a coordinated set of activities for a student with a disability that: Is designed to be within a results-oriented process that is focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child's movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation; Is based on the individual student's needs, taking into account the child's strengths, preferences, and interests; and Includes: Instruction Related services Community experiences The development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives; and If appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and functional vocational evaluation. 1 The Arc of Kentucky is pleased to provide this I AM DETERMINED Transitioning Youth from School to Adult Life Resource Directory. The Directory provides educators, families and students with valuable information about services and resources during and after high school. The purpose of the Directory is to identify the quality of transition services for students, age 14 through 21who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities with Individual Education Programs within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The vision is for all youth to turn their dreams into reality by empowering them to do so through access to information leading to real choices, possibilities and meaningful community connections for their futures. The I AM DETERMINED Directory is available free of charge and made possible through funding from The Arc of the United States, a sub-grant award from the Walmart Foundation, and support from the Kentucky Department of Education. It is available in print, CD, The Arc of Kentucky and Department of Education websites where it is linked to each organization and agency that has a website and posted email address. Counties along with the regional education cooperatives and a statewide map are located in the front of the Directory. Topics included are adult services, career preparation and employment, postsecondary education and training, secondary education, supportive services, youth development, leadership and self-determination. Resources listed may vary in each region as Resource Mapping was initiated and used by Focus Groups to determine available resources and current procedures of the transitional program for individuals transitioning from school to adulthood in each region. The Focus Groups across the state included local Arc’s, local Health Departments, Family Resource and Youth Services Centers, Parent Resource Centers, Independent Living Centers, school personnel, providers of services, students, self-advocates, family members, and others. Key stakeholders in the project include The Arc of Kentucky, Kentucky Department of Education, Kentucky Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, Cabinet for Health and Family Services - Family Resource and Youth Services Centers, Kentucky Protection and Advocacy, the University of Kentucky Human Development Institute, Post Secondary Education, students and parents. The artwork on the cover and located throughout the directory are the winning entries of the project’s “What Transition Looks Like toMe” art contest. A special thanks to Ron and Beth Harrison, Lexington, for sponsorship of the contest. We hope this Resource Directory will help its users to connect with other indivisuals, families, organizations, agencies, and others that enhance successful transition to adulthood. Remember that you are not alone. We wish all who view and use this Directory the best and hope you enjoy the I AM DETERMINED Resource Directory as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. No single directory can include every available resource. If you have additional information or corrections that could be helpful in the transition process, please forward to the address below.

GUIDE AND SCRIPT JUST FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS The high school years are the time for students and parents to take an active role in planning for life after high school. There is a big change from the public school that has been providing services and the adult world where if you want a service you have to go after it! Where will the student be working, getting training or going to school or living after high school? This is time to do some serious futures planning. Students should take a more active role in the development of their IEP. It is their life and they need to be the ones planning it. At age 14 or in the eighth grade students start looking at transition in their IEP (individualized Education Plan) that is to be based on their strengths, needs and interests. The IEP is a written plan of action that tells how special education services will be provided to make sure the student makes progress in the general curriculum and prepare the student for further education, employment and independent living. Parents are always a member of the team that develops the IEP. Students can start coming at any time but they must be invited to come at age 14 or in the eighth grade. For the meeting where transition is discussed they need to have some gathered information, thought about the future, and what goals they want to work toward. They can share this information in a variety of ways such as …. Goals area written for after High School and should look like this….. Students should have IEP goals that tie to their transition goals. Some things to consider: For training and education: Does the student know about his/her disability and the accommodations they currently use? Are they able to ask for assistance? Do they know how to contact the Disability Office at the college? For employment: have they considered what work they would like to do, have they job shadowed or talked to others in the field? For independent living: how will they get to work or training, do they know how to budget, can they take care of themselves and their living space. Additional notes: Try; take risks, hobbies, free time Did You Know? That beginning at age 14 – or grade 8 (whichever comes first) all students must be invited to their ARC meetings? 9 JUST FOR TEACHERS Transition is the time to encourage students to take a more active role in deciding what they want to do in the future for post- secondary education, employment and adult living. We know that: Invitation to meetings has not led to participation. Most students are not actively involved in their ARC/IEP development. Few students have goals promoting self-determination. Students must be taught how to participate in their meetings. They need to develop self-determination and self-advocacy skills as they learn about: Their disability Laws that protect their civil rights Their strengths and needs Accommodations that enhance their success The IEP and ARC meeting. Research is showing that the Self-Directed IEP is an evidence based practice that leads to positive outcomes for students with disabilities in school. Every student with mild, moderate, or severe disabilities in any instructional setting should be involved to whatever level of understanding they have so that they can be successful in their school, community and prepared to handle the challenges for the next part of their lives. They need to be learning 1. Communication Skills 2. Self-Understanding (including strengths, needs, effects of disability, ability to disclose disability, and requesting needed accommodations) 3. Self-Advocacy Skills 4. Goal Setting (Problem Solving/Decision Making) 5. Social Skills There are materials, resources and places in this directory that can help you. In addition, all the Cooperatives have a box of materials and information on student –directed IEP’s. Did You Know? That beginning at age 16 students must develop post secondary goals? 10 Date: _____________________________ Student Transition Services Phone Interview Guide & Script When you begin your calling to search for transition services, start by calling agencies that can refer you to other agencies, or branches of the same agency, in your local area. Prepare to ask the questions below: You may want to read and practice each question before calling the agency. Name of Agency: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Name of Person You Spoke with: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Address: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Phone Number: __________________ Fax Number: ________________ Hello, my name is __________________. I am a student, (or a teacher, a parent, a family member, a school administrator…) who is looking for information to help me (or my child, my student...) in planning for (the) my future. I am looking for information that will help me ______________________________________________________ (identify the needs that you have – ex. find housing, find supports for ….) I would like to ask you about the services your agency provides, or what your agency does. Can you help me with this - or can you tell me who, in your 11 agency, I should talk to about this? Thank you.” note name: (If referred to someone else in agency – ______________________________) 1. Please tell me about your agency? Who do you serve? 2. What services do you offer? 3. How does one get involved with your agency? Are there special eligibility or admission requirements? If so, how does one apply? 4. Are there costs involved in participating in your agency’s programs? If so, how much are they? Do you have special rates or financial support services? 5. Do you have any ideas about how your agency may be able to help me with (describe a need/needs or services/issue of interest…) 6.

Do you have any written materials describing your agency? If so, could you please sent them to me? (My Name is ____________________________________________) (My address is ____________________________________________) “Thank you for speaking with me today. I appreciate your time, and the information you have given to me will be very helpful in planning for my future.” (Developed by the River Region Transition Team (RRITT) 12 EDUCATION/TRANSITION EMPLOYMENT SOCIAL SECURITY “At the age of two Rachel began attending the Early Childhood Development Center. She worked on transition beginning in the 6th grade and continued into high school which set the stage for her to graduate with her class. She graduated with a High School Diploma. Rachel was always included in ARC meetings where she talked about the kinds of things she was interested in like a college education, employment, volunteer activities, possibilities and choices in the community. The planning process helped her prepare for the future. She now participates in the consumer directed option in the Medicaid Waiver program. Eventually Rachel would like to start her own business.” Denise Whitaker, McKee EDUCATION All children living in the United States who have disabilities, age three to twenty-one, have the right to a free, appropriate, public education (FAPE). Some children with disabilities will qualify for specialeducation services provided under several different laws – Individuals with Disabilities Education (Improvement) Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). IDEA FOR KIDS “Congress finds the following: Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of the individuals to participate in or contribute to society.” IDEA With the passage of IDEA, Congress made its intent clear…”Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring: Equality of opportunity Full participation Independent living Economic self-sufficiency” “…..and to ensure that such children benefit from such efforts and that special education can become a service for such children rather than a place where such children are sent……” Right – legal right. Special education laws are civil rights laws. There have been many efforts to open public education to children with disabilities. Landmark decisions: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Pennsylvania Assn. for Retarded Children Vs the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in 1971 for discrimination in not educating children with disabilities and the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 are just a few. What does Free Appropriate Public Education – FAPE mean? Taking it word by word: Free – at no cost (still pay the same fees typical children pay when attending school) Appropriate – “Like many statutory definitions, this one tends toward the cryptic rather than the comprehensive.” Supreme Court in Hendrick Hudson Central School District Vs Amy Rowley FAPE emphasizes: specifically designed instruction and related services designed to meet the child’s unique needs & prepare him/her for further education, employment and independent living. The Admissions & Release Committee (ARC) often referred to as the IEP team has the job of developing F Appropriate P E. – FAPE Members of the ARC include: parents (or person legally responsible for making educational decisions) regular education teacher, special education teacher, supervise the provision of specially designed instruction, knows the general curriculum and resources of the district and others who may be therapists, consultants, etc. ARC members are “equal” in the decision making process. “Separation” occurs if the parent and school disagree. 13 Public – At public expense, under public supervision & direction, meets standards of State Educational agency, has appropriate elementary, secondary school education and conforms to the Individual Education Program (IEP). Education – Having high expectations, ensuring access to general education in the regular classroom to the maximum extent possible, strengthen role & responsibilities of parents, coordinate with improvements in education, provide appropriate special education & related services, aids and supports in regular classroom whenever appropriate, support high quality professional development and the development and use of technology. Under IDEA: The child, age 3 through 8, may be found eligible if s/he experiences developmental delays in one or more areas of physical, cognitive, communication, social or emotional, adaptive development. By age nine, the child must be determined eligible for one of the thirteen categories of disabilities named in IDEA. They are: autism, specific learning disability, speech or language impairments, emotional disturbance, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment, hearing impairment, deafness, intellectual disability, deaf- blindness, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment and other health impairments which meet specific criteria developed by each state. AND The ARC determines eligibility and then identifies or confirms the “adverse effect” defined as “Progress of the child is impeded by the disability to the extent that the educational performance is significantly & consistently below the level of similar age peers”. Following a prescribed process, the ARC develops an Individual Education Program (IEP). Simply stated, “Ideally, the IEP is a system for spelling out where the child is, where he should be going, how he will get there, how long it will take, and how to tell when he has arrived.” Bierly, 1978 Under 504: There is an existence of an identified physical or mental condition which substantially limits major life activities which include: walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working and caring for oneself. Under 504, “appropriate” means an education comparable to the education provided to those students who are not disabled. It is generally provided in the regular classroom. Both emphasize “least restrictive environment” meaning children with disabilities are to be educated to the maximum extent with children who do not have disabilities. Did You Know? That it is important and helpful for students to identify and work with outside agencies to make their postsecondary goals a reality? 14 TRANSITION TRANSITION STARTING AT AGE FOURTEEN AND WRITTEN IN THE INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PROGRAM (IEP) BY AGE SIXTEEN “Danny graduated with his class after finishing the program of studies and then had 2 years in school to work on transition. People from the Low Incidence Employment Team came out the summer before his first transition year to brainstorm employment opportunities for him to volunteer at to see what he liked to do. Danny, who has very significant disabilities, both mental and physical, relies on people to learn to read his body language and sounds to know what works for him. During the 2 transition years he spent most of his time out in the community in volunteer jobs, exploring recreation, being on a college campus, attending to personal adult needs and looking for places to connect to the adult community. All of the information they found out about what worked for him and what he liked was important when he left school and started using the consumer directed option if his waiver. His adult staff had information they could use to continue to build a typical adult life in the community based on Danny’s desires and choices” Leslie Lederer, Louisville What does IDEA say? U.S. Department of Education – Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSEP) http://idea.ed.gov/explore/view/p/%2Croot%2Cdynamic%2CTopicalBrief%2C17%2C The purposes of IDEA include ensuring that all children with disabilities have available to them a free appropriate public education (FAPE) that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment and independent living. [34 CFR 300.1(a)] [20 U.S.C. 1400(d) (1) (A)] The term “transition services” means a coordinated set of activities for a child with a disability that: Are designed to be within a results-oriented process focused on improving the academic and functional achievement of the child with a disability to facilitate the child’s movement from school to postsecondary education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment); continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living or community participation. Are based on the individual child’s needs, taking into account the child’s strengths, preferences and interests: and Includes instruction, related services, community experiences, the development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives, and, if appropriate, acquisition of daily living skills and functional vocational evaluation. Did You Know? You can work and keep your SSI benefits? 15 Employment Many people with disabilities find it difficult to find a meaningful job. Competitive jobs based on personal preferences and abilities are difficult to find and maintain. Supported employment may be of benefit when considering becoming employed. There are usually six principles of supported employment. The six are: (a) Eligibility is based on your choice. (b) Employment is aligned with other needs. Employment specialist’s work with other people involved with providing guidance and assistance to coordinate plans. (c) Competitive employment is a goal. This means that the focus is toward a job in the community that pays at least minimum wage and is a job that anyone can apply for.; (d) Job search starts immediately and you do not have to complete any prevocational work units, transitional employment or a sheltered workshop. (e) Follow up supports are continuous. Individual supports to maintain employment continues as long as you want assistance. (f) Individual preferences are important. Choices and decisions about work and support are individualized based on your preferences, strengths and experiences. If you desire to become self employed and work for yourself, a micro-enterprise may be something you want to consider. A micro-enterprise will allow you to start your own business with little capital (money) for start-up and will give you flexibility to work at your own pace and on your own schedule. Planning for Achieving Self Support (PASS) is a program offered by the United States Social Security Administration (or SSA) to encourage persons that are Supplemental Security (or SSI) eligible who are disabled to set aside moneys for various reasons: Training, Schooling and including funding Microenterprise as Work Goals. This is an excellent way to work for yourself and to plan for becoming independent and self sufficient. If you are interested in learning more about the PASS Plans visit http://www.ssa.gov or call (800) 772-1213 for more information. If you are interested in learning more about employment, contact the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation at (800) 372-7172 or visit http://www.dvr.ky.gov. The Department of Vocational Rehabilitation has many services available including resources for adaptive equipment, work clothes and limited transportation to work, and programs directly related to preparing, securing and keeping a job in the community.

Under SSI, payments are made on the basis of financial need. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is financed with Social Security taxes paid by workers, employers, and the self-employed. To be eligible for a Social Security benefit, the worker must earn sufficient credits based on taxable work to be "insured" for Social Security purposes. Disability benefits are payable to blind or disabled workers, widow(er)s, or adults disabled since childhood, who are otherwise eligible. The monthly benefit is based on the Social Security earnings record of the insured worker. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a program financed through general revenues. SSI disability benefits are payable to adults or children who are disabled or blind, have limited income and resources, meet the living arrangement requirements, and are otherwise eligible. The monthly payment varies up to the maximum federal benefit rate, which may be supplemented by the State or decreased by countable income and resources. The following eligibility requirements and descriptions are brief overviews; complete information is available on the web site or at a Social Security Administration office. Check out the publications web site: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10095.html Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Web site: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi/ SSI is a federal program that pays monthly checks to people who are disabled, blind, and/or aged, and have limited income and assets. People who receive SSI checks may also receive Social Security checks if they meet eligibility requirements Eligibility Requirements: Anyone who is aged, blind or disabled – brief definitions follow: Aged: 65 or older Child: an individual under the age of 18 is “disabled” if he or she has a medically determined physical or mental impairment which: results in marked and severe functional limitations; and can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Adult: an individual age 18 and older is "disabled" if he or she has a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, which: results in the inability to do any substantial gainful activity and can be expected to result in death or has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. Social Security generally works with a state agency to decide whether the person is disabled or blind within the meaning of the law. Child or Adult with Blindness: the definition used is “statutory blindness”: having a central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in your better eye with use of correcting lens; or having a visual field limitation in your better eye, such that the widest diameter of the visual field subtends an angle no greater than 20 17 degrees. However, if you have a visual impairment that is not “statutory blindness” as defined above, you may still be eligible for SSI benefits on the basis of disability. AND, WHO: have limited income; and have limited resources; and is a resident of one of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands; and is not absent from the country for a full calendar month or more than 30 consecutive days; and applies for any other cash benefits or payments for which he or she may be eligible, (for example, pensions, Social Security benefits); and gives SSA permission to contact any financial institution and request any financial records that the financial institution may have about you; and files an application; and meets certain other requirements. Limited Income – includes money you earn from work; money you receive from other sources, such as Social Security benefits, workers compensation, unemployment benefits, Department of Veterans Affairs, friends or relatives; and free food or shelter. Generally, the more income you have, the less your SSI benefit will be. If your countable income is over the allowable limit, you cannot receive SSI benefits. Some of your income may not count as income for the SSI program. Limited Resources – things you own such as: cash; bank accounts, stocks, U.S. savings bonds; land; vehicles; personal property; life insurance and anything else you own that could be converted to cash and used for food or shelter. The SSI limits for resources that are counted: an individual/child - $2000 and a couple - $3000. If you are married, part of your spouse’s income and resources are included when deciding whether you qualify for SSI. If you are younger than age 18, part of your parents’ income and resources are included. And, if you are a sponsored noncitizen, your sponsor’s income and resources may be included.. You Can Work and Still Get SSI: special rules make it possible for people receiving Social Security disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to work and still receive monthly payments. And, if you cannot continue working because of your medical condition, your benefits can start again— you may not have to file a new application. Work incentives include: continued cash benefits for a time while you work; continued Medicare or Medicaid while you work; and help with education, training and rehabilitation to start a new line of work. More information is available at your Social Security Office or on line. Get more information on the Ticket to Work program by calling 1-866-968-7842 toll-free (TTY 1-866833-2967). Or you can call the toll-free number and ask for: Your Ticket to Work (Publication No. 0510061). You also can visit the Ticket to Work website at www.socialsecurity.gov/work for more information. Any time you have questions about SSI, call 1-800-772-1213. Ask for the free booklet Supplemental Security Income (SSI). After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets, and living arrangements must be reported. The Social Security personnel are available to give information about the reporting process. Usually people who receive SSI also receive a Medicaid (medical) Card and may become eligible for other state and county programs. If you are eligible for Social Security or other money benefits, you must apply for them. 18 Social Security Disability Insurance Program (SSDI) Web site: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10153.html#2 SSDI can pay benefits to you and certain family members if you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes. Your adult child also may qualify for benefits on your earnings record if he or she has a disability that started before the age of twenty-two. For most people, the medical requirements for disability payments are the same under both programs and disability is determined by the same process. Whether you apply for Social Security or SSI disability, you will be asked for information about your medical condition, work and education history in order to help decide if you are disabled under Social Security Administration’s rules. Briefly, to decide whether you are disabled, Social Security uses a step-by-step process involving five questions. They are: 1. Are you working? If you are working in 2010 and your earnings average more than $1,000 a month, you generally cannot be considered disabled. If you are not working, go to Step 2. 2. Is your condition "severe"? Your condition must interfere with basic work-related activities for your claim to be considered. If it does not, Social Security will find that you are not disabled. If your condition does interfere with basic work-related activities, go to Step 3. 3. Is your condition found in the list of disabling conditions? For each of the major body systems, we maintain a list of medical conditions that are so severe they automatically mean that you are disabled. If your condition is not on the list, we have to decide if it is of equal severity to a medical condition that is on the list. If it is, we will find that you are disabled. If it is not, we then go to Step 4. 4. Can you do the work you did previously? If your condition is severe but not at the same or equal level of severity as a medical condition on the list, then we must determine if it interferes with your ability to do the work you did previously. If it does not, your claim will be denied. If it does, we proceed to Step 5. 5. If you cannot do the work you did in the past, are you able to adjust to other work? Your medical conditions and your age, education, past work experience and any transferable skills you may have are considered. If you cannot adjust to other work, your claim will be approved. If you can adjust to other work, your claim will be denied. In addition to using the website, you can call toll-free at (800) 772-1213. All calls are confidential. Representatives are available to answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can receive information by automated phone service 24 hours a day.

Originally, Education Cooperatives were formed by district superintendents to cooperate in their efforts to provide special education services in their districts. Today, they have increased their cooperative efforts to provide assistance and expertise for the benefit of their member school districts. Regional Interagency Transition Teams (RITT) promotes best practices and resources to help individuals with disabilities achieve their post school goals for education/training and employment. 1. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP/SELF-DETERMINATION Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers’ (FRYSCs) Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school; academic achievement and well being; and graduation and transition into adult life. The primary goal of these centers is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. Each center offers a unique blend of programs and services determined by the needs of the population being served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents, too, report they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with the schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSCs.

ADULT SERVICES Medicaid Waivers Visit Website: http://cfhs.ky.gov/dms/kyhealthchoices.htm Medicaid can pay for services to help an eligible individual with significant needs continue to live at home through Waiver programs. While some eligibility requirements are “waived” for these programs, the individual must require a protective level of care related to daily living skills or skilled medical care. The financial criterion is based only on the income of the individual. Since waiver programs pay for services for a limited number of people, openings can fill up quickly and there may be a waiting list.

SUPPORT SERVICES Physical Health Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment Program (EPSDT) For eligibility information contact the local Department for Community Based Services Permanency and Protection Unit or Department for Medicaid Services, Frankfort, KY (502) 564-6890. EPSDT is designed to improve primary health benefits for children with emphasis on preventive care that has been a part of the Federal Medicaid Program since its beginning in the late sixties. After a Medicaid review in 1989, Congress moved to increase the services of EPSDT through the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. States must now cover regular and periodic exams for all eligible children under the age of 21 which have been excluded under the regular Medicaid programs in the past. The materials that must accompany an EPSDT application are: a physician’s order (on a prescription pad) – a letter of Medical necessity from a physician, physical therapists or other qualified personnel. (See local DCBS offices below). Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (K-CHIP) K-CHIP’s mission is to provide health insurance coverage to low income, uninsured children in Kentucky.

Council on issues that impact persons with disabilities. 87 Social Security Administration/Office of Disability Eligibility: An adult, age 18 and over, may be eligible if a mental or physical disability prevents the person from working for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death. A child under the age of 18 may be eligible. Social Security assesses the disability and the effect on everyday life in determining eligible. In the case of a child, the family’s income and assets are considered. When the person is 18 or over, the family’s income and assets are no longer considered for eligibility—only those of the individual. A person can have some assets and income and still qualify for SSI benefits. If you want to work, there are special rules to help. Contact your social security office if you have any questions about SSI. A person who has a disability must accept vocational rehabilitation services if offered. After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets and living arrangements must be reported.

ADULT SERVICES Medicaid Waivers Visit Website: http://cfhs.ky.gov/dms/kyhealthchoices.htm Medicaid can pay for services to help an eligible individual with significant needs continue to live at home through Waiver programs. While some eligibility requirements are “waived” for these programs, the individual must require a protective level of care related to daily living skills or skilled medical care. The financial criterion is based only on the income of the individual. Since waiver programs pay for services for a limited number of people, openings can fill up quickly and there may be a waiting list.

States must now cover regular and periodic exams for all eligible children under the age of 21 which have been excluded under the regular Medicaid programs in the past. The materials that must accompany an EPSDT application are: a physician’s order (on a prescription pad) – a letter of Medical necessity from a physician, physical therapist or other qualified personnel.

A person can have some assets and income and still qualify for SSI benefits. If you want to work, there are special rules to help. Contact your Social Security Office if you have any questions about SSI. A person who has a disability must accept vocational rehabilitation services if offered. After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets and living arrangements must be reported.

K-TAP provides financial and medical assistance to needy dependent children in Kentucky and the parents, or relatives with whom the children are living. K-TAP also helps families find jobs or get training that leads to a job. A family can only get K-Tap for 60 months in lifetime. Each month a family gets K-TAP counts toward the 60 months limit. A family does not have to get K-TAP for 60 months straight. K-TAP payments to families are based on family size and income. In addition to the monetary grant, KTAP recipients may also be eligible for support services such as childcare and transportation assistance through the Kentucky Works Program. Relocation assistance is also available to qualified K-TAP recipients, as are the educational bonus, work incentive bonus, and Employment Retention Assistance. In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of Kentucky, a U.S. citizen or qualified alien, unemployed or under employed (working for very low wages), a parent/relative caregiver who is responsible for children up to the age of 18 or 19 years old if meeting the school attendance requirement) and have low or very low income.

Originally, Education Cooperatives were formed by district superintendents to cooperate in their efforts to provide special education services in their districts. Today, they have increased their cooperative efforts to provide assistance and expertise for the benefit of their member school districts. Regional Interagency Transition Teams (RITT) promote best practices and resources to help individuals with disabilities achieve their post school goals for education/training and employment. 1. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP/SELF-DETERMINATION Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FYSCs) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school; academic achievement and well-being; and graduation and transition into adult life. The primary goal of these centers is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. Each center offers a unique blend of programs and services determined by the needs of the population being served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents, too, report they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with the schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSCs.

The Support Broker will assist you with enrolling in CDO, developing your plan of care and support spending plan, locating service providers and negotiating rates, supporting you in hiring, supervising and firing your employees. You can “blend” your CDO plan by continuing with the services that are working for you and Consumer Direct other services. If you feel CDO doesn’t work for you, simply return to the way you are currently receiving services.

Upon graduating from high school in 1999, Alan enrolled as a student at Western Kentucky University. Alan was not seeking a degree, but was seeking the opportunity to experience life as a college student as he became the first person with Down Syndrome to attend WKU. Alan audited college classes for 2 two years, lived in the dorms at WKU and was an active member of the Baptist Student Union on campus. Upon leaving college, Alan returned to his job at Winn Dixie and rented a duplex, along with a roommate, while saving enough money to marry Kerri, his high school sweetheart. Alan soon attained a job with the Barren County Board of Education as a bus monitor and lunchroom staff. After getting married in 2003, Alan and Kerri rented a home and began their journey as husband and wife. Within a few years, they had established credit and were able to get a loan to purchase their own 3 bedroom brick home in Glasgow. Since neither Alan nor Kerri drove, they chose a location that was within walking distance to several stores, restaurants and medical facilities. In 2009, they adopted their puppy, Zoe. After having a job at Food Lion and McDonalds, Kerri has been employed with Goodwill Industries for a few years now. Alan has been employed with the school system for 10 years and Alan and Kerri are celebrating their 8 th anniversary this month. Alan and Kerri are very active in their community being active members of their church, YMCA, Down Syndrome of South Central KY, Special Olympics, and Rockerz Dance Team. They have also served as advocates/board members, etc. of the local and state Arc, Advocates in Action, Future is Now presenters, KY Freedom board members, IHDI board members, and other advocacy related efforts. Some of their hobbies include scrapbooking, floral arranging, photography, bowling, swimming, and going on walks with their puppy Zoe.

Today, they have increased their cooperative efforts to provide assistance and expertise for the benefit of their member school districts. Regional Interagency Transition Teams (RITT) promote best practices and resources to help individuals with disabilities achieve their post school goals for education/training and employment. 1 . YOUTH DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP/SELF- DETERMINATION Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC’s) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school; academic achievement and well being; and graduation and transition into adult life. The primary goal of these centers is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. Each center offers a unique blend of programs and services determined by the needs of the population being served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents, too, report they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with the schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSCs.

ADULT SERVICES Medicaid Waivers Visit Website: http://cfhs.ky.gov/dms/kyhealthchoices,htm Medicaid can pay for services to help an eligible individual with significant needs continue to live at home through Waiver programs. While some eligibility requirements are “waived” for these programs, the individual must require a protective level of care related to daily living skills or skilled medical care. The financial criterion is based only on the income of the individual. Since waiver programs pay for services for a limited number of people, openings can fill up quickly and there may be a waiting list. (See State Resource Section for Waivers and descriptions, i.e. Michelle P, Supports for Community Living (SCL), Acquired Brain Injury, Home and Community Based , Model II) 258 For eligibility information and assessment contact the Regional Mental Health Center, Area Agency on Aging in the region, or local home health provider.

The Support Broker will act as your case manager. The Support Broker will assist you with enrolling in CDO, developing your plan of care and support spending plan, locating service providers and negotiating rates, supporting you in hiring, supervising and firing your employees. You can “blend” your CDO plan by continuing with the services that are working for you and Consumer Direct other services.

Originally, Education Cooperatives were formed by district superintendents to cooperate in their efforts to provide special education services in their districts. Today, they have increased their cooperative efforts to provide assistance and expertise for the benefit of their member school districts. Regional Interagency Transition Teams (RITT) promote best practices and resources to help individuals with disabilities achieve their post school goals for education/training and employment. 1. YOUTH DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP/SELF DETERMINATION Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers Family Resource and Youth Services Centers’ (FRYSCs) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school; academic achievement and well being; and graduation and transition into adult life. The primary goal of these centers is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. Each center offers a unique blend of programs and services determined by the needs of the population being served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents, too, report they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with the schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSCs.

ADULT SERVICES Medicaid Waivers Visit Website: http://cfhs.ky.gov/dms/kyhealthchoices.htm Medicaid can pay for services to help an eligible individual with significant needs continue to live at home through Waiver programs. While some eligibility requirements are “waived” for these programs, the individual must require a protective level of care related to daily living skills or skilled medical care. The financial criterion is based only on the income of the individual. Since waiver programs pay for services for a limited number of people, openings can fill up quickly and there may be a waiting list. 306 (See State Resource section for Waivers and descriptions, i.e. Michelle P, Supports for Community Living (SCL), Acquired Brain Injury, Home and Community Based, Model II) For eligibility information and assessment contact: Mountain Mental Health Center 104 South Front Avenue Prestonsburg, KY 41216 Phone: (606) 886-8572 Fax: (606) 886-4433 Website: www.mtcomp.org Kentucky River Community Care 115 Rockwood Lane Hazard, KY 41701 24 Hour Crisis/Information: (800) 262-7491 24 Hour Deaf/Hearing: (800) 787-5043 24 Hour Rape Crisis: (800) 375-7273 Website: http://www.krccnet.com Consumer Directed Option – Kentucky Independence Plus Program (CDO) CDO allows waiver eligible members to choose a provider for their non-medical waiver services, allowing them greater freedom of choice, flexibility, and control over their supports and services.

You can “blend” your CDO plan by continuing with the services that are working for you Consumer Direct other services.

A child under the age of 18 may be eligible. Social Security assesses the disability and the effect on everyday life in determining eligibility. In the case of a child, the family’s income and assets are considered. When the person is 18 or over, the family’s income and assets are no longer considered for eligibility – only those of the individual. A person can have some assets and income and still qualify for SSI benefits. If you want to work, there are special rules to help. Contact your Social Security Office if you have any questions about SSI. A person who has a disability must accept vocational rehabilitation services if offered. After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets, and living arrangements must be reported.

K-TAP provides financial and medical assistance to needy dependent children in Kentucky and the parents, or relatives with whom the children are living. K-TAP also helps families find jobs or get training that leads to a job. A family can only get K-TAP for 60 months in lifetime. Each month a family gets K-TAP counts toward the 60 months limit. A family does not have to get K-TAP for 60 months straight. K-TAP payments to families are based on family size and income. In addition to the monetary grant, KTAP recipients may also be eligible for support services such as childcare and transportation assistance through the Kentucky Works program. Relocation assistance is also available to qualified K-TAP recipients, as are the educational bonus, work incentive bonus, and Employment Retention Assistance. In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of Kentucky, a U.S. citizen or qualified alien, unemployed or under employed (working for very low wages), a parent/relative caregiver is who is responsible for children up to the age of 18 (or 19 yrs old if meeting the school attendance requirement) and have low or very low income.

What we wanted for our daughter changed over time as more options became available. People who are active and involved are the ones who are first in line for services. That’s just how it is. We started with the Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver and were able to switch to the Supports for Community Living Waiver (SCL). Now, our daughter is living in her own apartment with some supports and has started her own business with the assistance of the Vocational Rehabilitation’s Supported Employment staff and the Department’s Project Asset. We knew about these programs because we have been advocates and active in state committees for many years.” Dick and Jean Covert, Lexington 327 NORTHERN KENTUCKY COOPERATIVE FOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES NORTHERN KENTUCKY COOPERATIVE FOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES (Boone, Campbell, Kenton, Pendleton and Williamstown) Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Education Contact: Linda Alford 5516 East Alexandria Pike Cold Springs, KY 41076 Phone: (859) 442-8600 Fax: (859) 442-7015 Vanessa Groneck, Transition Consultant [email protected] Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT & LEADERSHIP/SELF-DETERMINATION Kentucky Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) FRYSCs’ mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school by developing and sustaining partnerships that promote: early learning and successful transition into school; academic achievement and well being; and graduation and transition into adult life. The primary goal of these centers is to remove nonacademic barriers to learning as a means to enhance student academic success. Each center offers a unique blend of programs and services determined by the needs of the population being served, available resources, location and other local characteristics. FRYSCs have established a record of success based on improved student performance in class work, homework and peer relations as reported by teachers. Parents, too, report they experience greater satisfaction and involvement with the schools as a result of assistance through their local FRYSCs.

In the case of a child, the family’s income and assets are considered. When the person is 18 or over, the family’s income and assets are no longer considered for eligibility—only those of the individual. A person can have some assets and income and still 369 qualify for SSI benefits. If you want to work, there are special rules to help. Contact your social security office if you have any questions about SSI. A person who has a disability must accept vocational rehabilitation services if offered. After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets and living arrangements must be reported. (See Employment Section of Directory for more comprehensive information about SSDI and SSI).

The materials that must accompany an EPSDT application are: a physician’s order (on a prescription pad) – a letter of Medical necessity from a physician, physical therapists or other qualified personnel.

Local Service Agencies: Social Security Administration/Office of Disability Eligibility: An adult, age 18 and over, may be eligible if a mental or physical disability prevents the person from working for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death. A child under the age of 18 may be eligible. Social Security assesses the disability and the effect on everyday life in determining eligible. In the case of a child, the family’s income and assets are considered. When the person is 18 or over, the family’s income and assets are no longer considered for eligibility—only those of the individual. A person can have some assets and income and still qualify for SSI benefits. If you want to work, there are special rules to help. Contact your social security office if you have any questions about SSI. A person who has a disability must accept vocational rehabilitation services if offered. After SSI payments begin, changes in income, assets and living arrangements must be reported.
