Introduction to Inclusive Postsecondary Education

Higher education opportunities for students with intellectual disability (ID) have greatly expanded over the past 20 years as a result of advocacy and improvements to the Higher Education Act. In this interactive session, experts will provide an "intro" to inclusive higher education, sharing information about the over 300 college programs for students with ID, how to find the right fit, how to apply for financial aid, and how to prepare in K-12. Cate Weir will describe how to use the Think College database of college programs and the positive outcomes from the evaluation of federally-funded model programs. Helpful resources will be provided and the workshop will include time for discussion and questions.
