Case managers are responsible to advocate on behalf of persons with developmental disabilities and should be made aware of the situation. Also, immediately notify the CDDO in the area the person resides and seek their assistance in resolving the concern. If the concern remains, Kansas Advocacy and Protective Services (KAPS) assists persons with disabilities to exercise their rights and should be notified. KAPS can be reached by calling (785) 232-0889 or 1-800-432-8276 (Voice/TDD). If these efforts are not satisfactory, contact the SRS/DBHS Quality Enhancement Coordinator for the area (contact information for the QE Coordinators can be obtained at DBHS/CSS at #(785)296-6140).
