UK OVR PATH 2024-2026
Abstract
For the past seven years, the University of Kentucky (UK) Visual Impairment
Program and Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) have offered the
annual pre-employment summer program titled: Plans to Achieve Transition (PATH).
This program is intended for high school students who have just completed their
sophomore or junior year and are blind, visually impaired, or Deafblind. It focuses on
employability and blindness skills from the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC), such as
braille, orientation and mobility, technology, social skills, and home management skills.
In July of 2022, after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, PATH returned to in-person with
a one-week summer session at the University of Kentucky campus and a Fall and
Spring weekend retreat at various locations across Kentucky.
