Sailor, W., Roberts, S. L., & Wehmeyer, M. (2002-2008). KLIPP (Kansas Low-Incidence Personnel). U.S. Department of Education. $1,499,995.
This grant addresses the attrition of personnel providing appropriate education for students meeting the low-incidence definition (e.g. severe multiple disabilities, deafness, blindness, severe mental retardation). KLIPP attempts to enhance opportunities for low-incidence instructional education at state teacher-preparation facilities, while extending professional development and guidance. This project allows in-service personnel to become certified without leaving their area within the state of Kansas.
