This study was an evaluation of the i3 Development grant, Think College Transition (TCT), an inclusive dual enrollment transition model to improve achievement and post-school outcomes for students with intellectual disabilities or autism (ID/A). The model offers an innovative approach to transition services for students with intellectual disabilities and autism by providing participation in inclusive academic and social environments of a college campus with same-aged peers rather than continuing to receive transition services in typical high school environments.

This online research summit focuses on evaluating the impact of college-based transition services for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, featuring presentations by Caroline E. Parker, Ed.D., Principal Research Scientist, and Rebecca Schillaci, Research Associate, both of the Education Development Center, and Maria Paiewonsky, Ed.D., Project Coordinator, Ty Hanson, Postsecondary Ed Specialist, and Odgerel Dashzeveg, doctoral student, all of Think College. Presentation handouts and a recording of the summit are available for download.
