What is Support Services?

The Department of Student Support Services includes:

Parent As Teachers Program
Early Childhood Programs
District Special Education Programs
Mental Health Interventions and Supports

Student support services are here to provide support to families and students in the Haysville community. Students will be provided with sound academic opportunities to facilitate their developmental, emotional, social, and vocational potential. It is our task to provide demanding programs appropriate for all levels of ability. The goal of Student Support Services is to implement this philosophy into practice for students with disabilities and to ensure that children with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.

Educational Services for All children

Student Support Services facilitates the delivery of special education services in Haysville Public Schools. In the provision of special education and related services, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) and the Student Support Services Department adhere to all state and federal regulations governing special education. These mandates include but are not limited to: 1. The identification and referral of children in need of special education and related services; 2. The provision of a free, appropriate public education; 3. Administration of nondiscriminatory, multidisciplinary evaluations; 4. The advisement of a parent’s right to due process; 5. Provide notice to parents before any special education action is taken and advise parents of their right to protest such placement through due process proceedings; 6. The development of an individualized education program for all children prior to placement in special education; 7. Informing and ensuring parents of access to records and the safeguarding of each student’s confidentiality; 8. Informing parents of the destruction of personally identifiable information when it is no longer needed and the parents’ right to request or deny such destruction; 9. Comprehensive re-evaluation of special education students at least every three years.

Student Services

Assistive Technology

Assistive Technology Services include any service that directly assists an individual with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an Assistive Technology devise.” (IDEA, Title 34 CFR, Se. 300.6)

If a student needs Assistive Technology (AT) to receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE), the school must provide it at no cost to the parents. The IDEA requirements state, “each public agency shall ensure that AT devices or AT services or both…are made available to a child with a disability if required as a part of the child’s
• special education
• related services
• supplementary aids and services
(IDEA, Title 34 CFR, 300.308)

All children eligible to receive specially designed instruction through an IEP must be considered for assistive technology. The team must ask, “What is it we want the student to be able to do within his/her education program, that he/she isn’t able to because of his/her disability?”

Child Find

Project LIFE

Some special education students still have a need for continued education after their senior year to achieve the goals from their IEP. Students enrolled at Campus High School who have been evaluated and categorized for special education services can be considered for placement within the Project LIFE program as deemed appropriate and/or necessary by the Individual Education Program (IEP) Team.

Project LIFE is based at Campus High School and is a combined education and work experience program that is giving high school students and young adult “interns” with developmental disabilities the opportunity to learn and build skills leading to future employment and a more independent adulthood.

Founded upon research-based educational and job training practices, Project LIFE interns are working to become proficient in: Team Building, Soft SKills, Basic Technology, Gaining Employment, Work Place Safety, Social Communication, Financial Literacy, and Maintaining Employment.

General Education Interventions

The main goal of general education interventions is to provide a systemic approach to meet the needs of all students and to use resources in the most effective and efficient way enabling every child to be successful. This is accomplished by:

Being prevention oriented by knowing who needs support early and putting supports in place
Implementing evidence-based interventions for all students tailoring interventions based on student need.
Using progress monitoring data to know when to make changes in instruction and interventions.

These practices set up a system to assist at-risk students who are already experiencing school difficulties with interventions that can prevent additional problems.

Hearing Impaired

The Hearing Impaired Services are designed to meet the educational and communication needs of students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Intensive language instruction and speech therapy in the resource room support the curriculum in the regular classroom. Further support is provided by Signing Exact English (SEE) interpreters throughout the day. Comprehensive hearing evaluations, hearing aids, and FM systems, as well as, repair and maintenance of equipment are provided by the contracted Audiologist who provides services for Haysville or the students’ personal audiologist.

Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI)

Core Values of Crisis Prevention Institute prioritizes values which help professionals balance responsibilities for Care, Welfare, Safety, and SecuritySM. These core values are foundational to person-centered care and organizational efforts to reduce and ultimately eliminate restrictive practices. They recognize that training to achieve improved outcomes in care is a continuous process and further recognize that CPI training quality standards are baseline expectations for Certified Instructors worldwide. Verbal Intervention training Staff will learn to recognize the stages of an escalating crisis and evidenced-based techniques to appropriately de-escalate. Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) provides your staff with the skills to safely recognize and respond to everyday crisis situations. NCI training complies with all current legislation and is evidence-based and fully accredited.

Occupational & Physical Therapy

Occupational or Physical Therapy are related services available for students who have a motor impairment which affects their ability to successfully access and participate in their educational setting and activitites. Registered/Licensed therapists provide evaluation services then use a team approach involving staff, students and families to develop therapy interventions to support the students's educational goals and to assist the student in becoming as independent and successful as possible in their educational program while remaining in the student's Least Restrictive Environment.

Related services, such as OT and PT, are developmental, corrective, and supportive services required to assist a child, who has been identified as a child with an exceptionality, to benefit from special education services. Generally, when needed, related services are provided in addition to special education instruction. Once the child has been identified as a child with an exceptionality the child need not meet the eligibility criteria for another area of exceptionality in order to receive related services. The individualized education program (IEP) team determines what additional services are necessary for the child to benefit from the special education services. The IEP team must consider each child's goals and the services or supports needed to assist the child to achieve them. The student must meet eligibility requirements to qualify for services as a portion of their educational program.

Parents As Teachers

Parents as Teachers (PAT) is a parent education and family support program serving families throughout pregnancy until their child reaches the age of 5. Parents are supported by PAT-certified parent educators trained to translate scientific information on early brain development into specific when, what, how and why advice for families. By understanding what to expect during each stage of development, parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social development and motor skills

School Psychologist

Haysville School Psychologists have specialized training in both psychology and education. Their primary goal is to support students’ ability to function successfully in the educational setting. School Psychologists provide screening, assessment, and intervention for students who are experiencing difficulty with academic achievement, social/emotional status, and development. Additional areas of focus include parent and teacher consultation, individual and group counseling, classroom design and preventative techniques.

School Psychologists play a critical role in the school building level General Education Intervention Team. The general purpose of the General Education Intervention Team is to serve as a support system to address concerns that interfere with a student’s functioning at school. Some examples of possible areas of concern might include: academic performance, behavior problems, social skills, motivation, family changes, self-concept, attendance issues, and health/hygiene. Any staff member or parent can refer a child to the General Education Intervention Team.

Post secondary education or vocational training, employment, independent living, and community participation are considered. Transition services can include instruction, community experiences, the development of employment and other post-school adult living objectives, acquisition of daily living skills, and functional vocational assessments. Transition services begin at age 16 for identified special education students. A statement of transition service needs is required at age 14 for all identified special education students.

Per the Kansas Process Handbook: “Beginning at age 14, and updated annually, the IEP must contain (1) appropriate measurable postsecondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments related to training/education, employment and where appropriate, independent living skills; and (2) the transition services, including appropriate courses of study, needed to assist the child in reaching the stated postsecondary goals; and (3) beginning at age 16, or younger, if determined appropriate by the IEP team, a statement of needed transition services for the child, including, when appropriate, a statement of the interagency responsibilities or any needed linkages (K.S.A. 72-987(c)(8)).”

Tri-City Day School

Tri-City Day School is located in Haysville USD 261 district but is attended by students from the Haysville, Derby, and Mulvane public school districts. This school was established to meet the diverse, unique emotional and mental health needs of their K-12 students.

Tri-City Day School offers five educational classrooms focusing on core and non-core courses through direct teacher instruction and the use of computerized curriculum. Students also have physical education available two times a week. All classrooms are staffed with certified special education teachers and para educators. A full time registered nurse is also available on site for students’ needs. Some students receive additional support during the school day through agencies such as the Mental Health Association (MHA), Behavioral Link, COMCARE, and other community based agencies that support students with disabilities.

In addition to the traditional core curriculum, students receive group counseling under the supervision of a Licensed Masters Social Worker for 2-4 times per week. Other additional related services may be included in a student's school day as determined by the student's Individual Education Program (IEP) team. All students are enrolled into their home school district in Derby, Haysville, or Mulvane and then referred to Tri-City Day School through the sending local school district. All students have been evaluated and categorized for special education services and all lesser restrictive settings were not successful for the students as determined by the Individual Education Program (IEP) team before a placement is considered.
