No permission is needed for individuals or non-profit organizations to excerpt or make copies of publications by Kansas Inservice Training System/Kansas University Center on Developmental Disabilities for personal use, for library reserve, or to share as handouts with students, teachers/staff, parents, or policymakers, as long as credit is given. Materials must be distributed at no cost, or sold at reproduction cost only, to the recipients. When a for-profit organization, such as a child care center, uses KITS materials as handouts for parents and staff, they are also covered by this policy. Note that many of the handouts in the KITS publications are copyrighted by outside sources. KITS has received permission to use these items. You will need to contact these sources on your own to get permission to use these copyrighted items.
