UK Project PATH Summer Project

UK OVR PATH 2023 Abstract Together, the University of Kentucky (UK) Visual Impairment Program and Kentucky Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) will offer the seventh 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. After a successful transition from COVID-19 restrictions back to in-person sessions, PATH will continue with a one-week summer session at the University of Kentucky campus and a Fall and Spring weekend retreat at various locations across Kentucky.
