Rehabilitative and Community Support Services for Children with Cognitive Impairments and Functional Limitations (RCS), also known as Section 28 services, provides rehabilitative and community in-home support services for children or youth up to the age of 21 who have a developmental disability that affects their everyday functioning. (Ex. Autism Spectrum Disorders and Intellectual Disability).

RCS is a family driven and strength-based service that delivers one on one individualized treatment planning and skill-based interventions by a certified Behavioral Health Professional with a focus on skill deficits in the areas of communication, socialization, and independent living skills. Services are intended to help the child function better in-home and community through working on goals identified in their treatment plan. 

To qualify for RCS the child must have a functional assessment i.e. Vineland or ABAS and have a current developmental or mental health diagnosis. A referral for services must be authorized by the Department’s authorized agent, KEPRO, and are reviewed periodically to ensure medical necessity. Upon approval and authorization for services your child will be placed on a statewide waitlist.
