The purpose of this chapter in Think College! Postsecondary Education Options for Students with Intellectual Disabilities is to provide professionals, individuals with disabilites, and their families with information from a postsecondary perspective that will assist them in creating a good fit between the goals of young adults with ID and those of institutions of higher education.

This checklist developed by a Disability Services office on a college campus provides questions that families and students should address when trying to decide on a college program for students with intellectual disabilities. Covers such areas as type of campus, residential options, accommodations, campus allies, funding options, and provides other questions to ask when contacting programs you may be interested in.
