Welcome to the Kentucky Post School Outcome Center!
The Kentucky Post School Outcome Center (KYPSO) develops and oversees the administration of the Kentucky Post School Outcome Study, a longitudinal investigation of the post school outcomes of Kentucky youth with educational disabilities during the final year of high school and one year after high school exit.
The KYPSO is currently funded by the Kentucky Department of Education/Division of Exceptional Children Services (KDE/DECS) State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG). We also are in the process of seeking additional external funding to conduct further research into factors predictive of post school success for Kentucky youth.
We hope this page will be a useful tool for improving education and transition services for all students.
Notes:
The Youth One Year Out (YOYO) former student Interview is now done every year, by every district, for every student with an IEP who exited the former school year. The Kentucky In School Transition Survey (KISTS) is done every year, by every district, on every student with an IEP who is exiting this school year.
All scheduled trainings are now complete. If you need to arrange for a make-up training please contact us directly.
Troubleshooting Tip: You need only to register for one Data Collection System account with KyPSO. If you have registered more than once you may have trouble accessing the data collection instruments online. E-mail Tony (tflobi1@uky.edu) if you are unsure of your username.
