Historically, students with intellectual disability (ID) have not been intentionally included in college level education. Over the last decade, as more institutions begin to realize that programs that serve students with ID fit in with their mission and vision, the number of dedicated, structured programs offered nationwide have substantially grown. Think College, a national initiative dedicated to developing, expanding, and improving research and practice in inclusive higher education for students with ID, estimates there are 300+ dedicated programs nationwide for students with ID. The mission and structures of these programs vary. Some are well-established, and some are still fairly new. Some support students with ID at open-enrollment institutions whereas other programs support students at public or private institutions. This webinar brings together a panel of disability service practitioners and administrators who have experience with different types of ID-focused programs on their campuses. Join the panel to hear about programs and learn how students with ID are meaningfully included in the different types of college campuses and cultures.
