During times of change, things can seem challenging and confusing. Many may feel uncertain and scared. Our commitment to connecting individuals with disabilities, their families, those serving them and our communities with valuable training, information and resources remains unwavering. KY-SPIN is a safe space for all Kentuckians, just as we have always been since 1988. Our services are open as usual and we encourage anyone to reach out for information and support.
Our core values of Respect, Education, Dignity, and Empowerment guide everything we do. These principles are at the heart of our mission to help families live productive and fulfilling lives they choose. We believe that by providing the necessary tools and resources, we can empower individuals and families to achieve their full potential.
We want to take this opportunity to clarify that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as Amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have not changed. Therefore, the legal requirements under these laws remain fully in effect.
We are aware of misinformation circulating on this topic, as well as other services and supports affecting individuals with disabilities and their families. We encourage everyone to rely on credible sources when seeking accurate information.
We want to reassure you that our team is dedicated to offering support and understanding, drawing from our personal and professional experiences and knowledge. We strive to make all information accessible and easy to understand, ensuring families and persons with disabilities feel informed and confident in their decisions.
Thank you for your trust and support. Together, we can create a brighter future for all Kentucky families.
