Project 4: SCL Video Project Special education teachers and other school personnel such as family resource and youth center coordinators are sometimes the first people that parents of children with significant disabilities ask when in need of information about potential community services for their children who are enrolled in a special education program. On rare occasions, well-informed parents choose to access the Supports for Community Living (SCL) waiver program offered through the Kentucky Cabinet for Health Services---Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. Currently, there is a waiting list of over two thousand people waiting to receive SCL wavier funding. This proposed video project is designed to educate special education teachers and other school personnel such as family resource/youth center coordinators about the SCL waiver program. Once knowledgeable about this waiver program, key school personnel will feel more confident about giving parents the initial information necessary to make a choice about participation in the SCL waiver program. The goal of the project is to develop a video that clearly states a) who is appropriate for the SCL waiver, b) what supports are available and c) how to get on the waiting list.
