Tier 2 will support stakeholders in establishing a comprehensive referral system.
Tier 3 will be for intensive training for agencies, service providers, and birth/foster families. KRFC’s tiered approach will engage participants through:

Primary educational series including webinars/ECHOs
Secondary support, including referrals to resources in our network of providers, agency-level DSP training

Pre-Employment Transition Services

Empowering youth with disabilities to achieve their highest employment potential is one of the major goals of Rehabilitation Services (RS). To help achieve this goal, RS is providing Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS). Pre-ETS are designed to provide job exploration, counseling, and other services to help young people prepare for employment and self-reliance, rather than dependency on public benefits

Find the office serving your community, and call for an appointment.
