The Kansas Autism Spectrum Disorders website is funded as part of the Kansas Instruction Support Network, we are part of the Kansas Statewide Technical Assistance Resource System (K-STARS) projects and are funded through a Title VI-B grant from the Kansas State Department of Education’s Student Support Services. 

The mission of the KISN is to assist Kansas school districts in building their local capacity to serve students with neurologic disabilities within the framework of a multi-tiered system of support.

KISN provides the following services:
 1. KISN maintains a lending library that is accessible online at http://ksndsp.org.  Materials may be checked out for 3 weeks, library patrons are responsible for the cost associated with returning the materials to the lending library, KISN covers the cost of sending those materials to the patron.
2.  Development of Autism Interdisciplinary Teams through a two day training that is offered annually at two regional sites.  The training is provided free of charge to school districts in Kansas.
3.  On going training through the KISN Training Series that is provided through the ITV Network and broadcast to 12 regional sites statewide.  The training series is developed each year with the assistance of the Autism Consortium that includes faculty from the Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas and Wichita State University.  Those universities offer three hours of graduate credit for the completion of the training series and additional assignments.  For those who wish to attend the training sessions without earning graduate credit, the sessions are provided without charge; those who wish to earn credit are responsible for the costs associated with that endeavor.
4.  Our Regional Autism Consultants (RACs) provide direct observation and consultation to districts who have exhausted their local expertise and request the assistance of the Kansas Instructional Support Network.  The regional consultants are full-time employees of districts throughout the state.  KISN purchases days from their contracts in order to bring their expertise to districts throughout the state that lack that expertise.  The RACs provide consultation and district tailored training. 
5.  Districts may also request training tailored to meet their specific needs.  In cases where districts request training at a district or building level, KISN requests that the district reimburse KISN for travel and provide the participants with training materials.  Please contact Lee Stickle for more information.
6.  KISN staff (Lee Stickle, Jane Goetz, Mary Woodworth and Sarah Hoffmeier) are also available to provide direct consultation for individual students when the local district has exhausted their resources.  We request that a member of the district’s autism team be present during the consultation.  In order to request a consultation please download the Request for Consultation Packet and return it to KISN.
