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.

JUST FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS
AND TEACHERS
PHONE INTERVIEW 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?

EDUCATION/TRANSITION

“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?

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.

The Social Security Administration is responsible for two major programs that provide benefits based on
disability: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which is based on prior work under Social
Security, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). 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.

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. (You can use our automated
response system to report a new address or request a replacement Medicare card.) If you are deaf or hard
of hearing, you may call the TTY number, (800) 325-0778.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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.

disabilities have an equal opportunity to fully participate in all aspects of the university community. It is
recommended that students contact the Disability Resource Center four weeks before accommodations are needed to
request assistance to allow for the required medical or psychological documentation to be obtained and reviewed
and for accommodations to be arranged. Staff will explain and guide students through the application process.
Students with disabilities who wish to be considered to accommodations are strongly encouraged to contact the
Resource Center upon receipt of the notice of admission to Kentucky State University.

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, Acquired
Brain Injury, Home and Community Based, Model II.)

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. The Community Mental Health
Centers and Area Agencies on Aging act as support brokers. Once you choose CDO, you will no longer have a case
manager through the traditional agency. 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. If you
feel CDO doesn’t work for you, simply return to the way you are currently receiving services. Support Brokers in

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. To
qualify must be less than 19 years of age, must not be eligible for Medicaid, must not have had health insurance for
at least six months, must not have voluntarily dropped child’s insurance within the past 6 months, and family
income must be at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Level Line. Contact office below for more information:

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.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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 resource 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.

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)

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. The Community Mental Health

manager through the traditional agency. 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. If you
feel CDO doesn’t work for you, simply return to the way you are currently receiving services. Individuals currently
receiving or individuals who might become eligible to receive waiver services from Medicaid’s Acquired Brain
Injury Waiver, Acquired Brain Injury Long Term Care Waiver, Home and Community Based Waiver, Michelle P.
Waiver Services, Supports for Community Living Waivers are eligible to participate in CDO for their non-medical

For eligibility information contact the local Department for Community Based Services Permanency and Protection
Unit or Department for Medicaid Services, Frankfort, Kentucky (502) 564-6890. (See local DCBS Offices below)
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 therapist or other
qualified personnel.

professional as having an intellectual disability as determined by their localities or, 2. Have a cognitive delay, as

sensory disability are not eligible to participate as Special Olympics athletes, but may be able to volunteer. A

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 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.

Frankfort, KY 40621
Phone: (502) 564-7050
K-TAP is a monetary assistance program established by Kentucky using Federal funds from the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. 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. To apply contact your
local DCBS Office listed above.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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.

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, Acquired
Brain Injury, Home and Community Based, Model 2.)

providers and negotiating rates, supporting you in hiring, supervising and firing your employees. You can “blend”

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.

Alan and Kerri Wells have never listened to what others said couldn’t be done because of their disabilities, but
instead listened to their hearts and pursued their dreams. 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.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. Originally, Educational
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 (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.

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)

For eligibility information and assessment contact the Regional Mental Health Center, Area Agency on Aging in the
region, or local home health provider.

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. The Community Mental health
Centers and Area Agencies on Aging act as support brokers. Once you choose CDO, you will no longer have a case
manager through the traditional agency. 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. If you
feel CDO doesn’t work for you, simply return to the way you are currently receiving services. Support Brokers in
your area are:

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.

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. 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 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 is a monetary assistance program established by Kentucky using Federal funds from the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. 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 resident of Kentucky, a U.S. citizen or qualified alien, unemployed or
under employed (working 18 or 290 years old if meeting the school attendance requirement) and have low or very
low income. To apply contact y your local DCBS Office listed above.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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.

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.

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. The Community Mental Health
Centers and Area Agencies on Aging act as support brokers. Once you choose CDO, you will no longer have a case
manager through the traditional agency. 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 Consumer Direct other services. If you feel CDO doesn’t work for you, simply return to the way
you are currently receiving services. Support Brokers in your area are:

Services: Low and moderate income housing and rental assistance.
Several different rental assistance programs are available through KHC. These programs offer very low-income
residents an opportunity to find housing at an affordable price. KHC administers many Federal rental housing
programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development pays a portion of the resident’s rent (subsidy)
and the resident pays the rest (usually 30 to 40 percent of their income). Such programs include the Housing Choice
Voucher Program, Rental Administration and New Havens. Kentucky’s Housing Corporation’s New Construction
Program for the Disabled – makes home loans at 1% to 6% interest to individuals with disabilities, based on family
income. You must apply through a local participating lender. Applications are submitted by lenders to KHC on an
ongoing basis until funds run out.

Social Security Administration/Office of Disability
Eligibility: An adult, 18 or 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 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 is a monetary assistance program established by Kentucky using Federal funds from the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. 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. To apply contact your
Local DCBS office listed above.

“Parents need to be active and involved, so they know what is available and what the trends are. 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.”

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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)
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.

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, Acquired
Brain Injury, Home and Community Based, Model 2.)

Unit or Department for Medicaid Services, Frankfort, KY (502) 564-6890.

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).

longer considered for eligibility—only those of the individual. A person can have some assets and income and still

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. To apply contact your
Local DCBS office listed above.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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 (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 non-academic 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 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).

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.

Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (K-TAP)
Cabinet for Health and Family Services

Frankfort, KY 40621
Phone: (502) 564-7050
K-TAP is a monetary assistance program established by Kentucky using Federal funds from the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant. 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 o 19
years old if meeting the school attendance requirement and have low or very low income. To apply contact your
Local DCBS office listed above.

Throughout Kentucky there are Education Cooperatives to assist with transition planning. 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 resource 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 Service Centers (FRYSCs) mission is to enhance students’ abilities to succeed in school
by developing and sustaining partnership 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.
