We hope that it is also useful for families, as well as service coordinators and providers who directly assist families and individuals with developmental disabilities.  \nThe focus of this manual is to provide easy-to-read information concerning available resources, and to provide immediate contact information for the purpose of applying for resources and/or locating additional information. In many cases, we took definitions and eligibility for services directly from the agency websites that offer these programs.  \nYou may notice that many of the resources listed in this manual are directly linked to regional Community Mental Health Centers. Often, and especially with children under the age of three and for adults, a local Community Mental Health Center will be the point of entry for an individual to gain access to many programs and services. For school-aged children and adolescents, the most direct route to services is often through the local public school system.  \nThis product is the hard-copy version of the Disability Resource Manual created by the Human Development Institute. An online version of this manual with a site search engine is also available at [www.hdi.uky.edu](www.hdi.uky.edu. This website)[. This website](www.hdi.uky.edu. This website) has been tested for web accessibility and is accessible to screen readers. Alternate formats of this manual are available upon request.  \nThe list of resources provided within this manual is not meant to be exhaustive. The purpose is to focus on resources available to individuals with developmental disabilities, though other related resources have been included. If you are aware of additional resources that are available and that should be included, we invite you to contact us regarding future editions of this manual.  \nThank you.  \nHuman Development Institute University of Kentucky  \n126 Mineral Industries Building Lexington KY 40506  \n(859)257-1714  \n[www.hdi.uky.edu](www.hdi.uky.edu)  \nFor updates, questions, or requests, please [contact](contact walt.bower@uky.edu)[ ](contact walt.bower@uky.edu)[walt.bower@uky.edu](contact walt.bower@uky.edu)  \nTable of Contents   \nRESOURCES FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES ................................................ 5  \nThe Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs (CCSHCN) ............................................ 5  \nEarly Periodic Screening Diagnostic and Treatment Special Services (EPSDT) ..................................... 6  \nFirst Steps .............................................................................................................................................. 7  \nHANDS Program .................................................................................................................................... 8  \nHEALTHCARE AND INSURANCE RESOURCES ..................................................... 9  \nAffordable Care Act-How It Impacts You ............................................................................................ 9  \nkynect: KY’s Marketplace or Health Care Exchange ........................................................................... 10  \nMedicaid Expansion (Affordable Care Act Changes) .......................................................................... 11  \nAdditional kynect Medicaid Guides .................................................................................................... 13  \nKentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (KCHIP) .................................................................... 14  \nMedicare .....................","cbCaiq8kuK1W85st","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq8kuK1W85st","pdf",547673,58,"English","# RESOURCES FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES\n## The Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs (CCSHCN)\n## Early Periodic Screening Diagnostic and Treatment Special Services (EPSDT)\n## First Steps\n## HANDS Program\n# HEALTHCARE AND INSURANCE RESOURCES\n## Affordable Care Act-How It Impacts You\n## kynect: KY’s Marketplace or Health Care Exchange\n## Medicaid Expansion (Affordable Care Act Changes)\n## Additional kynect Medicaid Guides\n## Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program (KCHIP)\n## Medicare\n# ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY\n## KATS Network and Regional AT Centers\n## Kentucky Assistive Technology Loan Corporation\n## KY AgrAbility\n# EDUCATION\n## Education and Students with Disabilities\n## Transition\n## Higher Education\n## Supported Higher Education\n# COMMUNITY LIVING\n## Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver\n## Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Long-term Care Waiver\n## Centers for Independent Living (CILS)\n## Hart-Supported Living Program","[{\"question\":\"Who is the manual primarily intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It was designed primarily for individuals with developmental disabilities and related conditions, and it is also meant to support families, service coordinators, and providers who assist them.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manual help readers access resources quickly?\",\"answer\":\"It provides easy-to-read information about available resources and includes immediate contact information for applying for services and locating additional information.\"},{\"question\":\"Where can readers look for definitions and eligibility details?\",\"answer\":\"In many cases, the manual takes service definitions and eligibility criteria directly from the agency websites that offer the programs.\"}]","Kentucky Disability Resource Manual - Purpose Statement - Eligibility Criteria and Contact Information | PDF",146]
