Serving children with disabilities, particularly autism, comes with its own set of unique challenges. But professionals serving these students in schools across Kansas say the Kansas Technical Assistance System Network’s (TASN) Autism and Tertiary Behavior Supports (ATBS) program provides the support system they need to help these students work toward their educational goals.
The 2026 Kansas Teacher of the Year (KTOY) team is now set with the eight finalists announced during four regional events earlier this month in Topeka, Overland Park, Wichita and Salina. The four regions align with the four Kansas congressional districts.
The full schedule for the annual Great Ideas in Education conference, July 28-30, will be released next week.
