Kansas Employment First: Helping Students with Disabilities Navigate through Transition Supports
Kansas Employment First is a law that was enacted in Kansas in 2011. The intent of this law is to ensure students with disabilities, such as, students with IEPs and 504 plans, receive appropriate transition supports to ensure Community Integrated Employment (CIE) and/or post-secondary education as the 1st choice for all students with disabilities in Kansas. The Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services is expanding opportunities for additional education and collaboration across the state to ensure the law is being followed. Our #1 goal is to establish this directive by collaborating with all entities involved in supporting transitional age youth. Support programs include: The Kansas Department of Education, Behavioral Health Services, Vocational Rehabilitation, Pre-ETS, STEPs, WORK, and Working Healthy.
