This article appeared as a special introduction in the Journal of Inclusive Postsecondary Education (JIPE), Volume 5, Issue 2. Written by Meg Grigal, it highlights the influential professional contributions of Debra Hart, a leader in inclusive postsecondary education for over 50 years. Debra's early work created the foundation for current practices such as college-based transition services and person-centered planning. Her efforts also led to initiatives such as the Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative and the establishment of Think College.

Some colleges and universities across the United States have received money to create and run Transition and Postsecondary Education Programs for Students with Intellectual Disability, or TPSID model demonstration programs. These colleges and universities report data, or information, on their programs and students to the National Coordinating Center. In this session, presenters from the National Coordinating Center will share data on how TPSID programs work and the kinds of activities students participate in, such as taking college courses and working.
