Jennifer Radt, Director of Disability Services at UC Clermont, shared very pertinent information meant to guide parents into the realm of disability services offered in higher education and how the student needs to self-advocate for those services. There are links below to the presentation and to the folder contents given to parents.

Understanding the STABLE/ABLE Account Informational Meeting
An informational meeting about STABLE/ABLE Accounts will be held on Tuesday, December 6 from 9am to noon at Crossroads Church in Mason. (Informational Meeting Flyer)
"Starting with a general overview, this presentation will review practical uses for the ABLE account. Hear the “what” and “how” of using an ABLE account for housing, transportation, assistive technology, employment training, education, health and wellness, living expenses, and legal fees. Highlights will include the benefits and sometimes unknown ways an ABLE account can be used for qualified expenses."
What is a STABLE/ABLE Account?
A STABLE Account is an investment account available to eligible individuals with
disabilities. STABLE Accounts are made possible by the federal Achieving a Better
Life Experience (“ABLE”) Act. STABLE Accounts allow individuals with disabilities
to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefits
programs, like Medicaid, SSI, or SSDI. Earnings in your STABLE Account are not
subject to federal income tax, so long as you spend them on “Qualified Disability
Expenses.”
You can find more information about a STABLE Account at http://www.stableaccount.com/.

Welcome to the Kings Local Schools Transition Blog!
Our goal is to disseminate relevant information regarding transition services for 14-21 year-old students on an IEP. If you have a student in elementary school, this blog will provide the information you will need to be informed when the transition section of the IEP comes into play at the age of 14.
When planning for your child’s future, the talk of transition can sometimes become overwhelming. We hope to provide you the information you need to make the transition process easier to understand and discuss in the IEP meeting. There is much information to share, so we plan to post it in smaller sections. If you would like to follow this blog, please enter your email in the appropriate place to the left of this post.
