​ASSISTANCE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
KATC is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Parking space is reserved for those vehicles displaying the Disabled Placard. The doors are double-wide to accommodate wheelchairs and the south set of doors has an automatic door opener. The restrooms are also wheelchair accessible.  In addition, the school employs a Vocational Resource Educator (VRE) to assist students with disabilities in the successful completion of their programs.  Students with disabilities, as addressed by the Americans with Disabilities Act who require accommodations for either testing or during program training, are responsible for initiating such services.

​To obtain accommodations, students must:
​1. Self-identify: Contact the VRE regarding the disability and the accommodations needed. This must be done in a timely manner, or delays in service provision may be unavoidable.
 2. Verify: Provide current documentation from a qualified professional. The documentation must clearly support the need for any requested accommodations.
3. Determine: The VRE, in some cases in conjunction with others, will determine the appropriate accommodations based on the documentation provided.​

Every effort is made to accommodate individuals with disabilities.  The staff at KATC works with students on a case-by-case basis to ensure that they receive the same quality education as other students.

​​​COUNSELING
The school counselors of Kirksville R-III School District believe a comprehensive school counseling program is an integral part of a school district's total educational program. It is designed to be developmental and includes sequential activities which are organized and implemented by professional school counselors with the active support of parents/guardians, teachers, administrators, and the community.

​As a developmental program, the needs of all students are addressed through facilitation of a program that supports and encourages students' academic, career, and social/emotional development.  It also helps create positive and safe learning climates in schools.  At the same time, the program aids students as they work through issues and resolve problems that carry the potential to impede upon their long term development.

Four interrelated program components of counseling curriculum, individual student planning, responsive services, and system support are delivered in order to fully implement a comprehensive, K-12 school counseling program. School counselors assist all students in completing a college and career ready curriculum that prepares them for their successful transition to post-secondary education or the world of work. 

Counseling services at the KATC are provided by Cindy Basler. Cindy Basler has over 17 years of experience in education. She has a B.S. in Elementary Education from Hannibal-LaGrange University (2002), a Master's in Counseling from Stephen's College (2012) and is a certified Psychological Examiner from Missouri Baptist University (2022).

RESOURCE EDUCATOR
The Resource Educator provides resource assistance for individuals with disabilities enrolled in a Technical Education Program at the Kirksville Area Technical Center.  Individuals with disabilities generally have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan.  The IEP or 504 Plan should outline accommodations that may be needed for the student to succeed.  The Resource Educator works with the student to ensure accommodations are implemented in his/her technical classes.  These accommodations provide the student an opportunity to achieve the same competencies that other students will achieve in the class.  In addition to serving the student, the Resource Educator acts as a liaison between the faculty and staff from our sending schools and the Kirksville Area Technical Center.  Also, the Resource Educator can provide resource assistance for parents.
